So, I know that this isn't reinventing any sort of wheel, and I'm sure there are probably a couple posts on here about it, but I'd just like to share my personal success story.
i rece tly got a new RTT, and it's a beast. At 88 inches in length and ~190 pounds, it's quite a bit to handle coming from a Skycamp Mini. After mulling over how to handle it (solo) without a hoist or crane, this is what I came up with.
-Two 4x4x12 ft pieces of lumber
-Two L-brackets
-Four wood screws
Simple, right? Well, I'm happy to report that it worked like a charm! No idea why I didn't do this sooner. Not bad for $50.
I will say, it still wasn't *easy*, but using this method was easier than how I used to solo load my Skycamp Mini. Just wheel the tent over, center it on the beams, and push it on up.
If you're like me and don't have access to an overhead hoist, I highly recommend some poor man's ramps.
P.S. I'm on a 2.5" lift on 35s, so it's not the tallest rig out there, but it's definitely not a short trip to the top either.
