Yikes - that's precisely the problem that concerns me with the caravans. In fact, I was curious how the lifting mechanism worked since there's nothing visible in any photos. Top of my list of questions to ask Bruce was if there was some sort of manual override, but I guess if it's a cable, there isn't. And with the top down on those, pretty much all your gear is trapped inside, too.
Hope it didn't happen while you were out. That would ruin a trip pdq. But surely there's a way to replace it, and I'd hope you'd be able to do it in the field. Please keep us posted.
btw, I'm in TN, and for some reason, pop up campers are specifically excluded from having to be registered. No reason that a caravan wouldn't qualify, as far as I know.
