The next part is getting a hoist system for the canopy. I have a Leer 122 I'd like to have on my truck when the camper isn't on....but it takes 4-5 people to lift the behemoth onto my truck bed.
4 posts in the ground, spaced at about 12 " in from the front/rear corners, holes cut big enough diameter for some metal conduit to go thru, back the truck in between, undo the rail clamps, lift from inside, slide a 2x4 under the shell across the bed at the front and rear, then lift the shell high enough to run the conduit thru the hole in the post, under the shell, and to the other post. Same at rear. The 2x4 keeps the shell from sliding forward or back, or off the edges, until you have it up. Drive truck out from underneath.
