Bill,

I'm not meaning to resurrect an old thread, but I didn't want to take a related post from a current thread too much off topic. The post I'm referring to is #8 from http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ad.php?t=18752

"Just an idle thought. It seems to me that the hardest part of lifting the shells, at least on my two TMs, is the first 12 inches or so. Once the shell is up that far, the rest of the lift is easy to do by hand. Perhaps there is some way to install a motor-driven jackscrew, much like a tongue jack. It would assist with the first part of the lift, then stop and let you take over. That has got to be a simpler mechanism than one that continues to operate all the way to the full-open position.

Padgett, you've thought a lot about this. What do you think? Cindy, would a partial lift work for you?

Bill"

Was the lift adjustment you had done in 2014 not enough, or did it rapidly become heavy again?
