    I recognized many of the places you visited in the video. I believe the border crossing closed in 1996 after the main road washed out during high water. I'm not sure that that was the only reason for the closure but it did contribute to the decision. Thanks for sharing.

Just put it to sleep (minimize it). Also the "downloading the maps for offline use."... cool video though. Great area.

      We ended up using the Rec Site section of the Backroads Map Books, it gives locations and access descriptions. For example, it tells you if a site big enough for motorhomes of it is 4X4 access. That information is available on the BC website as well.

    I went to harbor freight and bought the 1ton shop crane to do exactly this. Your idea compared to other videos I've seen is the cheapest, safest and effective way to mount and remove my RTT. I don't keep my RTT on my truck full time. But when I want to install it, seems like no one wants to help me so this is the best method of doing it safely for one person. I would change a few things though about it. 1. The hook point, I would rather have to be 2 chain links then the hook with a bolt going through the frame. 2. Add threaded rods at the rear of the hoist near the casters to basically have a spot to put weights on as counterweight only if needed. I rather have about 100 lbs of counterweight to be damn sure that the hoist has enough weight on the back even if its only 110 lbs of RTT I'm lifting. I have a Toyota Tacoma so I might have to tweak the design a bit anyways.

    How heavy is your new tent and how high is it to the top where you’re lifting? I watched your previous video and this one about your system and I like the idea. I’ll be installing a 272 lb (huge) RTT on a Ram 2500 and I think I’ll have to install/remove from the rear due to the tires being in the way. I’ll need something that reaches about 3 feet inward from the back of my truck at a height of 87 inches to the top of the tent. I’ve thought about having a hitch mounted crane with a swivel built as well. Just not sure what the best way to go is yet.
