I just wish they would have showed how to get the top up and down. Probably think only bust your butt hunks ride!!!! sorry I am feeling better :roll: I guess they raise it by hand but not easy for some people who are not weight lifters. :NC Better?

Mary, the first version proto type was hand lifted. The third production version will have lift assist. It is a beautiful, well done trailer.
Remember, the turtle won. :)

Hey Bonnie, I am interested in the mechanics of it. After my experience lifting of the top of the little camper my son was using (I almost lost my hand when the steel cable broke) I am just not sure but I am willing to check out the lifter.

That's been posted a few times here and there on the forum, but it is always
good to have it brought up again as it is a great and inspiring build. I just
wish that they would post any info on the last proposed build - if they have
done it. That sounds extremely interesting.

Cheers,
