I just put a Hydralift on the Berkshire. Works great. I had it installed by the shop recommended by Hydralift. They told me the Hitch House does beautiful work, great installs. Total BS. Hydralift has a great product, but are just trying to sell lifts in the end. The qualified installer charged me $300 to relocate my rear hanging mud flap. Good thing he was too lazy to cut the bolts that were 3" too long off. Since there was no loc tite, no lock washer, no double nut it vibrated loose and my mud flap was dragging on the ground on one side. An easy fix, but by no means a beautiful install.
Check your clearance for the door to your motor. Mine swings out and then up. As a result the lift is 6 or 8 inches farther out than all the pics I saw on the web site. Not a big deal but when I do pull my trailer there is 6 feet from the back of the RV to the front of the trailer.
It is really nice to use. Easy to load, very secure while traveling, and the perfect height to change your oil! PM me as well if you'd like some pics or more info. Adam.
In my opinion it's the best lift out there. We haul an 850 lb. quad. Installed at Cliff's welding in Mesa, AZ.

Hydra looked good, but this one was almost free. Tested and works fine, it uses the cable to lift.
Make sure you have a knowledgable hitch man weld/bolt the receiver to the frame. We had to extend our frame 3' on the Bounder or else the lift could pull the entire rear cap off-which we have seen happen on improperly installed receivers.
Hello everyone, looking to put one on my 2007 Bounder 35E, Gas
I have already reinforced the hitch area, all the way back to the hitch, didn't like the fact the frame didn't go all the way back.
I'm towing a car trailer with the MC on the front of the trailer and a jeep on the back. Works ok, but would like to put a lift on and flat tow a car.
thanks.

Just had the Hydralift installed. Visone in E. Bernstadt, KY did a fantastic job! Looks just like the factory had installed it. Works great, going to use it for the first time this weekend. An absolutely quality item.

Well, after our maiden voyage with the Hydralift, WE ARE SOLD! Fantastic! Didn't even know it was there. The bike rode great, the lift works perfectly. Easy to load and unload. A super quality item that is worth every penny.
My welding shop told me not to do it. The Ford frame ends and he would need to extend it all the way back. My axle is about 10' in front of the bumper, so hanging 1000 pounds that far back wouldn't be good.
So, now I have an Overbilt in Zephyrhills available.
Looking for the tow dollie that carries the bike on front.
