You mean it doesn't have a travel limiter? So the operator has to stop at the right height?
Not on mine. I have upper adjustable limit switches on each corner that sets the up travel and the down travel as well.
Never had issue one. Very nice (and unobtrusive) system.
You're real big on your "unobtrusive" system. Maybe you haven't seen an Outfitter lift system. The lift rods and torsion bars do not take up any room in the your words "crowded interior."
Bob, you can do a retro from crank to HappiJac electric system but like said by Joerg, better off if Outfitter did it if they still offer to do it. And they may not anymore I don't know. It's a big hassle for sure. I had to go that way after adding a rooftop storage along with canoe and ac. I could barely crank it by hand. I believe all their campers come with electric lift now. Yes, it is a bit slower.
That is correct I have not, nor are there any pictures on their website that show it.
However, I am familiar with the system that Hallmark used, Northstar used and Palomino used prior to switching to the RT system (I believe Hallmark switched, not completely sure).
All the systems were similar with an internal tubular frame raising the roof and they all intruded in the living space to a certain extent when raised. The RT system don't (other than 4 3x3 galvanized rectangular supports).
Guess I assumed wrongly, pardon my dust....:R
