I had the same trouble with the linkages always jamming, after removing and reshimming the same problem returned shortly afterwards in the end I put in a trimatic auto and all good now

I think Restoreid is right, the 202 is a great motor, but well under powered for your camper, check my Gallery, I have a camper with a 202 fully worked 3 speed trimatic with overdrive and a 3.5 ratio rear end, have changed it to a 4.1 good low down power and good top end with the overdrive, but the problem the motor has to work hard and this is something you don't want on a relaxing road trip. I am changing to the VN Holden 3.8 v6, no more power problems and drives with ease, sometimes it better to make new than try and fix old. My thoughts anyway.
