I have a 2018 QuickDraw Conestoga
It came with 2 free adjustments but I’m never empty when near a shop
Anyone have insight how I can just do this at home? Can’t be do complicated as there are only 5 adjustment points, 2 in each side and one at the top center

Would like to know this myself.

I talked to the shop where I’m leased on to and they have QD kits on all their trailer
This is what he told me
Do it empty
Release the tension on the trailer and then tighten all bolts evenly
He said it’s normally about 5 full turns on each
If you get it too tight you won’t be able to get it back in the “A” frame so then you’d have to back them off some
Looking at the set up. It may be that the top center bolt adjusts the top and maybe any “ angle “ waves you may have??
Not sure
Doesn’t sound too difficult
I will be doing mine this weekend and will update how it goes
I’m going to use a black marker and mark each but so I can count easier on turns madestwik, Lepton1, Ruthless and 1 other person Thank this. -

I will try and get thatLepton1 Thanks this. -
Didn’t get video but it was pretty simple
Loosen the kit
Loosen the lock nut on each of the two side bolts located on the outside of the rear of the curtain carriage
I have this nut marked with an ( A )
Then turn nut ( B ) clockwise it in toward the front of the trailer
I did mine 5 full turns. I also marked the flat spot of the nut with a black marker so I could count the turns
Do this to each of the two nuts on each side of the carriage. Driver and passenger sides
And the top center one. There is a locking nut on top of the curtain for that center bolt
I just opened my kit and used a ladder to get up to the top
If it is too tight and you can’t get it in that “ A “ frame then loosen it some. But mine worked perfectly with the 5 turns
