Thanks for for the replies. I went with a motorcycle jack from Sears. Aluminum, weighs just 44lbs. Works a treat. The AirSafe sits on the two rubber covered lift panels perfectly. The rubber also helps stop the AirSafe from slipping when you need to push it in that last bit. Easy to roll around. Easy to raise and lower in small movements to slot into the receiver. A bit of a pricey solution at $199 but Sears had it on sale for $179 with another $9 off for putting it on the Sears card. Should be useful on occasion for other jobs and besides it makes dealing with the AirSafe a piece of cake. If one had no desire to take it with you or can manage 80-100lbs dead weight there are MC jacks for considerably less.
Once having got it installed on the truck I saw that it doesn't stick out much more than the previous hitch. I don't mind leaving it on for a few days, like now when we're leaving in just three days. When we are going to be gone longer at 44lbs I can get it into the truck without too much worry in case we did need to take it off for whatever reason.
Umbilical cord reached fine but the safety chains are a couple of inches short and welded to the tongue so I installed D anchor clamps to make up the difference.
I inflated the bag to 40 psi per instructions. Any advise on that?
