I just built an a-frame for that purpose. 9' wide, and 10.5' tall. It's also for butchering moose. I have a leer 122 browning, and it's really heavy. Typically it takes 4 men to get it off and on the truck. I live far enough out that coordinating that is difficult. I'll let you know how it goes....but the current plan is to lift the front and back enough to slide a 2x6 across, then run rope through holes in the ends of the 2x6 making a harness which will attach to the A-frame. I'll likely use my chain fall, but I could just use my truck airbags to get the canopy off and on the truck quickly. Chainfall will help with lowering onto a trailer (one I built a couple years back which fits my canopy). Most of the summer, it'll probably just sit on the a-frame so I can attach it quickly between camper trips. I really prefer to have the canopy on my truck when the camper is off. Keeps thieves from stealing groceries, and snow out of the truck bed....and contains the dog....who's been known to bite people who get too stupid around him. Something which describes much of the general population.....lol.
