Dropping generator on Lance 1161 is child's play. Yes I did it couple of times. You use camper jacks to raise the camper few inches off the ground, put some pallets or boxes, or whatever under generator pan, lower camper slowly to touch the pallets, pull the control plugs, disconnect hard wire, exaust and propane line, than loosen 4 bolts that hold generator to the camper (long socket extension very handy) and then lift the camper to let the generator sit on the pallets.
I was then pulling the generator by sliding it on make-shift ramps from the palets, but now thinking - I might just back up the truck under the camper and try if I can drive the camper out.
Generator is 80-90 lb so not that hard to carry once you can grab it comfortably.

I share this to incourage all of you to load those wonderful truck campers and hit the roads to comfortable places.
Janet and I have certainly had a wonderful life in our camper and we have met many wonderful people.
I’d do anything for all of you... and many of you know it

BTW... I’m going to lick this generator problem one way or another if I have to let the truck and camper squat and to “drop” the dang thing on the ground behind the camper
Now there is a vision
