- SidecarFlipExplorer IIII'd call RT in Frankfort, Illinois and talk to them. I'm sure they will steer you right. Nice folks.

Not on mine. I have upper adjustable limit switches on each corner that sets the up travel and the down travel as well.
Never had issue one. Very nice (and unobtrusive) system. - joerg68Nomad IIIOur 2011 Apex 8 had the factory electric lift. It used a single HappiJac jack motor which was connected to the slideout channel of the HJ remote.
It had no up / down end switches, you would just drive the motor into the clutchbif you continued pressing the button. But that was not an issue for us; the lift was very slow (maybe 2 minutes for a full lift).
There is a manual emergency override at the camper side. You would need to stand on a ladder to use it.
Never gave us trouble in the 4 years or so we used the camper.
I think a conversion can be done, but it is a pretty involved project. I'd try to get the factory to do it. - LwiddisExplorer IIAmerican RVers without auto stop = danger.

- OldtymeflyrExplorerWe had it on our Outfitter and it worked well. My wife liked to hit the stop and keep on going, it broke the weld. I fixed it and that was the end of the problem.
We liked the option.
