Our Mighty Hauler Experience
We wanted a HydraLift to carry our golf cart. But after investigating it we discovered that our cart weighs too much. So our very reliable repair shop (handles many of the NASCAR rigs) did some re...

CCIntrigue,
Well, sounds like you've got it under control now. As with our Hydralift, it took a few times to get things streamlined in terms of prepping the coach, setting up the lift, loading the bike, tying it down and motoring on down the road. Each time I did it, I clipped a little time off the total process.
I've got it down now to the point people watching me do it can't believe it's done that quick and, without a sweat. It just gets easier the more you do it. Your GC will get easier and easier to load and off load the more you do it. And, backing down, once you've done it a time or two, is no brainer stuff. As far as paint is concerned, that's really a travesty that the company has no idea how to prep and paint their product.
When I purchased the Hydralift off ebay for our coach, it had been sitting on a pallet, outside in the elements for a couple of years. We loaded it up on a flat bed trailer and toted it home from Scottdale AZ to here in San Diego. After mounting it, I took some Kit Wax and applied it to the entire lift. It came out looking like it was very close to new with only a one or two micro-spots of aging, not even any rust. But, I've heard of other Hydralifts not fairing so well. So, maybe I got one made on a Wednesday. Who knows.
It's sure nice to be able to carry your toys with you and have them available while on a trip ain't it? Good luck.
