Hi Guys,
Got a great guy local to me that is going to build a trailer for me. I'm thinking about a flatbed trailer with with steel tube sides that come up a to ab say around 3 feet off of the deck. Then I want to have a platform/rack that can be raised/articulated up to the appropriate height for a RTT with Annex. The idea would be low center of gravity with open storage (later maybe enclosed) where I could put gear, firewood, bikes etc. Then, when ready to setup -- I could extend the rack/platform up another couple of feet and have the RTT sitting plenty high. Seems like the 4 corners (possibly a middle tube as well) could be raised and then a steel pin inserted (think lock pin) through both sections of support tubing -- but what about a simple no frills way to raise and lower? Gears? pulley? piston? I have onboard air-- . Looking for reliable, simple and clean. Ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
