Did the noodle trick with the beds. It's the rest of the camper that drafts. I cut four noodles, two for each bed. That really did help.

I only had a raft behind the closet. The cold air would blow into the rear bed.

The other significant draft is the bottom right corner of the door at the floor. A dirty towel will solve that problem.

I have no other significant drafts.

As far as lifting the shells (beyond adjusting the torsion bars) I still wouldn't be surprised if TM came out with a motorized lift as an option on new models and a retrofit for existing rigs.

I believe the electric slide came out after Bob Eickhoff was named Sales Manager by TM (January 2010) and it appears he was also working on his own aftermarket product.

Word of caution . . . I attempted to click on the Demo video from the web.archive.org link and my antivirus denied access stating it was a site with known malicious issues.

I did see the videos when the site was first linked here on TMO (it showed the shells going up and down on their own, but did not show the mechanics behind it)...but since the site has gone down they no longer work.

When I click the demo from the waybackmachine link I'm not getting any warnings from ESET or site advisor...the link appears to be staying within the archive.org domain and shows a go-daddy "this site is parked for free" message with options to buy the domain that was probably captured by the wayback machine at a later date than the main rvpowerlift.com page

Your mileage may vary...regardless the videos aren't there so don't click the demo/video buttons.
