Anybody have easy 1 man shell removal systym and storage? I have a heavy shell and looking for easy way to remove and re-install. Don't have room in garage so it would have to be outside in the yard. ...

With my mini truck the shell was light enough that I could do it myself. With my full size truck the cap is too far up and too heavy to easily take off so I added L track to the roof and then made a harness and cross beam and used an electric winch and then after moving the truck I would lower the shell down on to rack with 10" wheels that I built.
I later learned that the dealer where I bought the camper would store it for me for $25 a month. Now I drive over there and they use a forklift to remove the top and then they put it on a rack indoors where they store it until I need it.
Takes me 15 minutes to drive there and 15 minutes for them to remove it and about the same amount of time to have it put back on when I am done using the camper.
