Usually the shifter is on the dash instead of the column so the RV companies used their own design.
I would check with the RV clubs and research the internet for salvage yards for RVs and campers. Good Sam is one that comes to mind.
You may also find something that would work at a boat dealer.

IF YOU HAV THE OLD 1 . CHECK AROUND TO YOUR LOCAL CAMPER , OR MACHINE SHOP OR WELDING SHOP, IT MIGHT BE REPAIRABLE.. IF NOT CHECK THE WEB FOR CAMPER CLUBS OR FORUMS .. JAY

how did u make out on this camper?

Make and model of unit should be on base of roof assy, please reply with that so we can be sure we have right wiring info for you. Although they are pretty common, let's be sure.

This camper uses the Coleman lift system which uses a threaded rod that connects to a tracked distribution block to which all four cables are connected and then routed by pulleys to all four corners of the popup.First raise the popup to it;s full height by using automotive jacks and poles once extended securely clamp the poles to the telescoping up rights This IS SUPER IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY. Next get under the camper find the broken cable unbolt it's routing pulley(s) pass the broken ends out the pulley(s).Next unbolt the end from the distribution block. followed but unbolting the cable from in side the telescoping column;carefully note the routing in side the column. Buy or make up an exact length cable of aircraft grade stainless steel twisted wire cable of the same gauge. Reverse steps to re install,take lowering strain on crank make sure crank handle is captured by anti free wheeling device on camper un clamp poles remove, lower and raise top by crank to ensure smooth working. You're finished.
