starleen2":2zvpk7zq said:the design works - but you'd better have the camper coupled to the TV or you'll get a nice see -saw action going trying to lift the top (the wheels act like a pivot too!) with the downward force exerted at the rear. perhaps some jacks on the rear would stabilize and keep this from happening. Also is this lift mechanism going to be on both sides? I can see it becoming wedged to one side or binding while trying to lift
I doubt that 3 puonds of pull down in the back would move the camper weighing 1400 plus pounds and close to 200 pounds on the tongue jack in front if that's what you meant.
No seesawing, no binding of the cap either. The cap can't twist and it can't move any way but straight back and up as it is hinged to full width end panels that are also hinged to the roof. Even one pole would lift it straight. When one side is lifted, the other side has to go with it in a straight line.
