Eric, I cannot make the lift using the side bars.  There is not enough
leverage for me to do the lift that way, given the breadth of the reach.  I
do not wish to try lifting one side and then the other.  So, I stood in the
center of the floor, reached out to both sides to the side bars, and tried
lifting.  I can't budge the top, though I can easily lift it from the
center bar.  The Campmobile manual describes using the center bar for the
lift.
