Put the top onto the trailer to get a first look at what it will look like
Ha, yeah, it's kind of interesting what each of us sees. My first thought was this is a classic application for a torsion spring to provide torque in a low clearance situation.Love the fishing rod storage as when the photo first loaded the wasted space was my first thought.

As we all know, there are many different ways to accomplish the same task. Some are better than others. I struggled sourcing a torsion spring(s) that would work, mount in easily, be delivered in a timely fashion, and be semi cost efficient. At a certain point, one must stop spending the client's money on research, and actually complete the task. So knowing that the client was going to be attaching a rod holder or two to the interior of the top, I opted for this result. Client is happy with the end result, therefore I am alright with this compromise.Love the fishing rod storage as when the photo first loaded the wasted space was my first thought.
I thought I covered this in the first real paragraph of this thread. I apologize if I didn't. The scissor lift is for the RTT. It will remain tight to the trailer during transport. Meaning a smaller, less top heavy trailer to drag through obstacles and much less wind resistance when towed along the road. Then the RTT can be lifted to the correct height it was designed to be used at. The RTT being used has a front annex room. It is designed that it will fit someone under 6'4" tall can fit in it when standing. So the lift will pin out at multiple heights to accommodate different parking locations/ground elevations.What does the scissor lift on the lid accomplish?
Lol . Unfortunately, I am the engineer, fabricator, salesman, accountant, janitor, etc. So if I shoot any of them... Thank you for the chuckles!@Brucker, as any manufacturing or project manager will tell ya...
