Most of you guys seem to be enamored with this contraption. And I get that it is pretty neat. I'm a fan of DIY problem solving.
Maybe I'm crazy. I just look at that thing and think no f'ing way I want my $70k camper being hoisted by that. My reasoning being if it's lifting by the bottom edges, what's that doing to those corner seems? Even if it's a fiberglass 2-peice, it was built to be suspended buy the jacks or sitting in the bed of the truck and that's how/where it's been designed to handle that.
Like I said, love to know what manufactures would say. I doubt "Fine" and "Okay" would be the 4 letter words they'd be using. :)
