Unfortunately, yes, the crank requires that I bend over to use it (it is on the tongue of the trailer, I put the handle into the frame itself). I have thought about the drill, but since I'm planning to sell it I won't. The AC probably is a good part of why it is a lot harder to crank up than I remember from my parents' old pop up, but another is probably my 46 year old back now v. my 16 year old back then.
