I believe that's how most shops do it, seems like a ton more work doing it that way. Only took 5hrs to pull and 6hrs to install (misplaced a few bolts)

WOW that is awesome, great job again, i love seeing stuff like this.
Did you make it just for this RV or is this something you made with adjustments maybe to use on another RV?

Excellent thought out procedure, thank you for sharing. It’s actually enjoyable seeing creative outside the box thinking like this.

I believe this would work for most Revcon's and GMC's/other makes from the 70's with the dog house access. I made the unit with the idea of it being adjustable to suit different applications. Figured I would rent or sell to someone who is in need.l, shame to have it sit around for a one time use application but it sure beat the other method in my opinion.
