I have an 18V Cordless Drill - what do I use to attach it to the PUP to lift the lid?? My PUP is a new Fleetwood E3. Thanks in advance for advice. We picked it up today and will be camping tomorrow in the Tahoe area.

all you should need is the correct size socket for your pup and a 3/8" adapter for your drill. goodluck.

Daniel, You are going to need a socket genie or you can build your own. If you make your own you will need a 1/4" hex to 1/2" adapter as well as a 1/2 extension rod.

There is a third option which is to get an extra crank handle cut it and file a short section into a square to fit into your drill.

Hope this helps.

Ruide I took a peak at your pics. I said to my self when going from pic to pic.
This guy uses his drill for everything, then I came upon the last pic and I must say it made me laugh.

Pete, I'm glad that it made you laugh... but please don't tell my wife. I would be in trouble big time

After the first trip, I took it back in for some small repairs (water hose broke) (bed not level) and the company gave me a drill attachment for free. Save 36 bucks! Thanks for the info.
