Probably a stupid idea since I have not seen it yet, does anyone use a pneumatic cylinder and compressed air to lift and lower their RTT?
I have a CDN M101 and copying a bunch of you built a rack the keeps it in the down position when driving and lifts it to 6’ when camping. I currently have 2 pneumatic springs that lift it up. It works ok but would like it smoother. To get it down I get the kids to climb on top.
I was at Princess Auto and saw pneumatic cylinders and got to thinking that I could use one with the air compressor to lower and raise it with the springs. I’d put it in the centre. Would make it easier when I go out alone. Overthinking it? (Almost want to build it just to try).
