Having blown out my back (twice) while unloading the truck canopy, and not always able to find a couple of people to help me, I decide to devise a lift to get the canopy on and off the truck so I can use the camper. It's basically a 2x6 frame, with a couple of stringers, and an old set of Reico hydraulic jacks. I use a small floor jack to get the canopy in the air, then slip the cross bars under it, attach the stringers, the jacks, lift it and drive out from under. The maiden voyage was this afternoon, and believe it or not... It worked. It isn't pretty, but it works. Best of all, my back is intact!!!
