Camper Dolly
When not in use, my TC is stored inside my warehouse. It's safe, dry, & temperature controlled which is great, but I have finally gotten fed up with the amount of jockey'ing it takes to get the whole rig into the back corner of the building... not to mention getting the truck back out after unloading :M
So, this morning I built a simple steel dolly on wheels. Now I can back into the roll-up door, raise the camper, pull the truck out, slide the dolly under, and lower the camper onto it. Rolling the dolly (w/3500lb camper on board) across the concrete floor is a simple one-man job, but steering is easier with 2 people since all of the wheels are swivel casters.
Here's a few pic's;
The dolly is 33" tall (truck bed is ~34") which minimizes the amount of time I spend running the jacks up and down.
There's a 3/4" plywood deck on top of the dolly and I'll be using a second piece of ply on the lower shelf l for storing my cargo rack, motorcycle rack, tailgate, etc.
The best part is that I can now quickly & easily get the camper tucked all the way into the corner.
BTW, my shell is stored on a rolling dolly too :C
