Yeah, I was there but I mossed that escapade. But yes, a wooden, not plastic picnic table and a floor jack. I did my own with a little help from Lin. If you have the tools, go for it.We did a Tri-Glide on ours from a picnic table at the Nashville Rally, and it only took 15 of us to do the job. But we had fun!!
The 5th Airborne is considerably heavier than the standard Lippert 1621. Just moving it around in the garage after it was delivered made having the dealer mount while doing some other work made it a better idea for me. I was thinking of jerry-rigging a platform in the truck bed to use the hitch to hold it up, but decided the limited working space would be hazardous. Not to mention trying to arrange for some muscled help at the storage yard. Dealer charged me $125 to mount it.
Any idea what the torque value is on those bolts? I tried to download them from e-trailer but only a portion of them came through.
