AutoPop - Electric poptop on Eurovan camper - w/ linear actuator

Here is a demo of the electric pop top assist I designed and constructed for my arthritic mom's Eurovan Camper. It uses a linear actuator primarily designed to move solar panels to face the sun. Its robust enough to lift a poptop, and does it quite well. Further details of the construction along with photos of the mounts can be found here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/vie... Probably not for everyone but it could help the aging camper continue to get out and enjoy nature.
