Working out with a suspension trainer

My fiancé and I own a 38ft Fleetwood Expedition. We are currently full timers. We love it, but are having a hard time finding good ways to work out and stay fit.
I just bought a suspension trainer. If anyone here has worked with them, they are set up to be used just about anywhere, but I am having difficulty finding somewhere to use it.
I have a hydralift motorcycle lift on the back of the RV and I keep thinking there has to be some way to use that with the suspension trainer to work out. The only issue with that it is not high up enough. I could probably even use it for other exercises. I have also thought of mounting an anchor point somewhere on the RV or using the ladder on the back.
I could use some ideas if anyone has experience finding creative ways to work out using your Motorhome. Thanks everyone.

You can't find good ways to exercise while camping? Try hiking, bike riding, canoeing, swimming, jogging/walking around the loops - to name a few.
Experience without good judgment is worthless; good judgment without experience is still good judgment!

DO not use ladder as an anchor point.
RV ladders are marginal at best for vertical weight bearing.
Horizontal/pulling forces will probably bend ladder or rip it away from mounts


Motorcyle lift should be stout enough but like you said..........too short.

Maybe modify lift to accept a 2" square tubing long enough so that with lift raised up top would be high enough. Attach an anchor point

A weld shop could make one in couple hours.

High enough anchor point is issue...can't go around driving cleats into trees :E



A BRISK heel/toe walk around campground, stair stepping, elevated pushups using picnic table, good ole military calisthenics (pushups, squats, lunges, heel raises, jumping jacks, crunches etc)

No excuses just because of MH and FTng.
Is it time for your medication or mine?
