Marc: Nice camper. would love to see it in person. If I were retiring and traveling full time or such, I could see me getting one of these.
One question, have never seen pics with anything on top. Do you recommend carrying kayaks or canoes up top? extra storage? Some photos of the storage areas would be nice just to get a feel of size.
Thanks

Hey Dave
I never carried anything on top since I don't own any kayaks. Also was never in need of any additional storage.
But sure; it can absolutely be done.
Keep in mind that you might cover up some of the solar panels and won't get 100% usage.
How does it lift??
A HYDRAULIC system.
The hydraulic jacks are made out of Aluminum and weigh 8 lbs each. All jacks are set up in series and work like a charm via a remote control.
They also can be field stripped pretty easily and repaired if necessary.
All units come with an extra set of gaskets and other necessary parts in case of failure.The roof can lift and hold over a 1000 lbs.
After struggling with lifting the manual pop top loaded with snow a or ice a few times I decided that I needed a lifting system capable of not only getting it up and down with a load; I also wanted to make it easy to use.
There are also no annoying turn buckles to deal with when opening the top; specially when they are frozen.
Just push the button; up she goes.
