I remember years ago you could buy electric or manual crank winches just for the purpose.

At 8 lbs per gallon of water, I would hope the jacuzzi is empty.

For some reason I always liked that color combo on the older Ford trucks. I called it T-bird turquoise.

I ran for years with an aluminum boat on top of my rigs with rollers.Number one,there not that heavy but it does takes two to load it.

I am totally amazed at the new generation of truck campers, coupled with the internet to ad fuel to the fire.

In the old days as posted above,it was common to see an 8' plus overhead camper hooked up to a horse trailer and were talking trucks with a GVWR of like 7200 pounds...No broken axles/cracked rims or blown tires and the camper was tied down with stake pocket tie downs.

Wow how the internet has changed truck camping!

Tilts up with those brackets. Someone made one iirc and posted it on here years back.

That boat ain't that heavy and besides,that setup was way way before weight police existed, when people just adapted to situations without the fallout the internet provides!
