I wonder what it would take to retrofit a powered lift onto an existing TM? May not make as much money for the company as selling a new camper, but it sounds like as people "age out" of their TM they are switching brands anyway. Half a loaf is better than no loaf, as they say.

Have done a lot of thinking about it and suspect a roof mounted channel with a screw type operator like a garage door opener might be a way. Would operate on both modules at the same time. Something like a mini gear reduction starter motor ?

Well, the email address on the website is no longer valid. Bummer.

Holly, note under contact info it lists Bob Eickhoff (he and Cleo own TrailManor). I couldn't get a response from him when the email address was still valid. If you find out anything, please let me know.

I believe Brent is Bob's son. I'll give it a few days, since I emailed on a Friday night. Then I'll try calling Trailmanor mid-week. I seriously doubt this is anything they ever really pursued to market. Most likely, it was too time consuming/not enough return/too expensive to consumer for them to bother with. But, I'll certainly keep everyone posted!

I'd be very interested also, just avoid the telephone.. I don't think it would be that expensive but might need quite a bit of power. HF has some inexpensive 2k class winches with remote. Could not see if he had just one or two remotes.

Have found that raising the first foot or two is the hard part, after that it is pretty easy.
