I am looking at putting A fold out deck on the back of the camper. It would be 5 Ft. wide (just like the camper) and about 4Ft long (just big enough for A couple of lawn chairs. My floating firepit would probably be A 3 Ft wide floating steel bowl, held away from the flammable foam and fiberglass deck by A couple of 3 Ft. long steel rods.
Having The deck (dock?) mounted ridgidly to the rear of the camper would really help with my bouyancy C of G issues.
I injured my shoulder A couple of weeks ago. The next part of my build is the lifting mechanism. The sling that my arm is in keeps me from using both of my hands to repeatedly lift and lower the top to work out the mechanics of the mechanism, so progress is A little slow at the moment.
This does give me more time to daydream about additions like the deck and firepit, and to work out my other arm.
Things that I have learned are reeaaalllly hard to do one handed.
1- manually lift to top of A popup camper
2- rake leaves
3- hang christmas lights from your roof
4- dishes
5- carry the laundry basket up stairs
6- hammer A nail
7- bench press
8- just about everything my day job has asked of me over the last couple of weeks.
