When slides add some weight, they come with with the floor reinforcement, what gives better support for lifting.
This is upper floor (under kitchen sink) of classic frame.
Not much to support even when camper is only 3000 lb.
The camper on video is fiberglass shell, just like boats.
Boats are lifted from the bottom by 2 straps all the time.
So if the guy inspected the camper frame for strength - this is very handy lift and if that come from boat yard - probably did not cost him a fortune for custom build.
If he lifts the camper without checking with manufacturer for frame strength- he is an idiot.
Strange that in 7 years/ quarter million views the video did not get a single comment.
Took rv.net forum member to make it an issue :h
