Hey Joe,
Is there any way to use another electric camper jack or two, maybe mounted beside or behind the one already there. Use this set of jacks in reverse, to lift your generator up. You get a lot of lift for sure. You could probably design a plate on the bottom instead of a foot, mount your generator on there, then raise and lower it that way.
The camper jacks were actually what I was originally thinking on, but would be really tall for the application, the goal is to make them short enough that they can lower the basket out of the way, but not interfere with the snap n nap opening.
The bed is hinged at the top so that back wall swings up and out when you pull the bed out.
I've also been pondering modifying a couple of electrically drive scissor type landing gear jacks for this idea as they would have the least amount of clearance interference.
The rear basket will also have a receiver attached center mast to allow for our bike rack to be mounted.
