My friend, who is a little elderly, has a terrible time opening and closing his toy hauler rear ramp. Everything is properly adjusted but he no longer has much upper body strength and he walks with a cane. I was wondering it anyone knows of a 12vdc garage door opener or how to modify a 120v unit. If such an opener/modification exists, maybe I can adapt it to his trailer.
Thanks,
LeRoy
If his ramp has the spring cable system one might be able to modify a landing gear motor to work to wind/unwind the spring rod.
