And now it's powered!
It's a little slower than I would have chosen but it will probably only be used once we've set up camp and not every time the door is opened. It's also a bit loud, but I do suspect it will be a little quieter once it's painted, paneled, and insulated.

Not too slow. Is it fire and forget? Or you holding the switch?

maybe isolate linear actuator with rubber dampeners to stop vibration transfer to tubular steel?

If loudness can be fixed - I think maybe I bought the wrong truck(s)!
And, I suppose if noise bothered me I wouldn't be playing truck.
Say what?
What did you say?
Sorry, I couldn't hear what you said...
... over the noise of my truck.

Absolutely!! What the heck IS that noise!?
Hey, I am almost back to normal.
Went for a ride yesterday and my depth perception is back to normal.
AND the honeybees were exonerated!
The ball of wasps under the fender of the jeep came roaring out a couple days
ago. Zipping all around. They were made oily and lifeless!
Honeybees haven't been interested in what I have been doing and that makes me happy.
Thats great no wonder your eye swole up getn hit by wasp i HATEem i would have burned the jeep and all to reward their bad behavior and then thrown a party to show the rest of them what awaits hostile advances lol.
Not very concerned, truth be told. I think the mic was a little sensitive as there wasn't any background noise, and in any case, I'm over it already. The step does exactly as it needs to and the wife is happy(!) with it. Task has been crossed off the list and have moved on to other items.
I saw lots of other options out there when spec'ing out an actuator. This one was IP65 rated (outdoor use, water spray and dust) as opposed to others which were lesser-rated (or not rated at all). It's going to- or actually does work already. Moving on...
