Hitch/Generator Crane
Recent discussion about using pickup cranes to lift gennies, etc., inspired me to build a crane mounted in my RV barn to lift my hitch off the pickup.

I back my 5th wheel into place; and pull the pins that hold it to the bed. Then, the DW elevates the Fiver legs; and I pry the hitch out of the rails.
I store the hitch attached to the Fiver.
Re installation is a tad more difficult; but I can drop the hitch in place and in 2 or 3 mins its back in place an pinned.
BUT; I do like the idea of AC winching a Gen set out of the truck.
Picking mine off the floor and placing it on a 40 inch tall bench earned me a nice little operation..
When I first looked at the screen name I thought I read 'Elvis-in the army' I do believe 'Elvis-N-Amy' is quite fine. Old and Slow, fits me from A to Z. Now for some serious stuff. Between the two of you ingenious fellow threaders, I need a mobile crane set-up. My gen is in the genhouse on the bench. Got her there several years ago with the help of DW. Now, there she sits. If I could back a mobile crane up to the genhouse, the Champion is just inside the door.
