Good greif.....

Yeah, the guy could use better diet.
That lift might work with light camper, who has fiberglass shell.
My heavy campers don't have any structural members on the sides to hold the 5000 lb weight.

Good Grief, when Youtube opens I get a message, Video Not Available.

Not a great idea.

Smart man and talented. Great invention for his RV business.

Clicky

What am I looking at, how they lifted the camper from the sides? Or how the guy is loading a long box camper on a short box truck?

For a dealer that has to move TC' s around often it looks like a handy tool , like in snow country where lots have to be plowed . I do question the weight capacity of the tires and wheels .

You can question it but for one thing it's only moving around the lot not going down the highway so a blowout is barely an inconvenience. From the looks of it this guy has been moving campers like this for DECADES and has never had a problem.

Well he is wearing a belt AND suspenders....

He saw a travellift in a boat yard and made the idea work for tc's. Brilliant and nobody can back under a unit in his yard and steal it if it is back end out!

People invent dumb things all of the time. That’s pretty amazing that he’s lifting the TC from the sides that normally support little weight. I’d like to see him lift a triple slide that way ... I’m sure he’s got insurance for damages. :D

But seriously, there is little reason not to have it under the bottom of the TC other than to prove he can.
