Your trailer is looking very beautiful - nice work!
It might be helpful to anyone else needing to replace their lifting pump if you'd provide a link to the one you purchased.

Yeah it's good to know it's possible to get generic parts for the campers. I went out this morning to a place called Princess Auto. They carry a wide array of trailer, auto, and shop parts and tools. I noticed they had a manual hydrolic pump, good for up to 4 tons I think it said. It seemed reasonably priced at 90 dollars (Canadian) I'm guessing it's possible to get fittings to connect it to my current pump, giving me the manual backup I currently don't have.

Oh here's the site it's 85 bucks, they do have a 4 ton manual lift kit for double that, it has quite a few accessories.

Got the trailer lights all on and starting the insulation.
I had to add spacers to "flex" the roof in spots because water was pooling.
Then deviated with white roof sealer/ paint
Now starting insulation, 1" radiant backed foam.
Kind of a pain each section is custom measure and cut-no repeat sizes. Set up a nice work surface in side with plenty of sharp 3 " razor blades to minimize snow beads!!!!

Is there a way to raise and lower the trailer manually if the cable doesn't function?

This is kinda late, but I just read your post. There IS something called "ponding compound" for roofs that you can buy in places like Home Depot. It is a powder that you mix with water and then you apply it like "filler". It dries hard, will fill low places, and then you can cover it with the white roof elastomeric paint.
I've used it on two "built up" roofs in Arizona, and it does a super job of eliminating ponding.

Hi
Not that I am aware of, you could use a manual hydraulic pump if the electic one fails, but if the cable fails all you could do is jack it up from the outside ( no easy way to do that)

Hello sloanstavern, I recently purchased this 1978 2278R. the previous owner had started to redo the top half. He completed the insulation. Now I need to install the paneling which he also provided. How are you planning on securing your paneling? Also, what do you plan to do about securing any 12 volt wiring in the walls? I have wires hanging everywhere. I thought I might use some Gorilla Tape to secure the wires.
