Nice!
Very ambitious. For me, raising our back door by 20 inches seemed to be ambitious. Child's play in comparison.

The opposite, that would be awesome to have the whole bed tilt up and slide down to the ground instead of messing with ramps and such

Steve,
Pick a night and just let it load. The next time you load it it will be in your cache. I had the same problem a couple of days back.

I am running on a low-end android tablet so this page does load slower than others. The first load was by far the worst due to the size of the images.

I didnt get anything done this weekend, my sandrail bent a valve last September and I'm just now less angry at it enough to start working on it. BUT I may have found a (ruined) 35' camper that has all the appliances, plumbing, tanks ect ect.
