Need Idea! Heavy battery and generator

[nomad2012]

I need some ideas:-) I need to get a 70lb battery and a 55lb small generator from the ground inot the back of an SUV and I am too weak to do it myself. After 3 surgerues this year its one thing I cant do on my own when i go out to the desert camping. So I need a way to use some sort of pully / jack system or some other way to get in in an out of the back of an SUV - any ideas???

Much gratitiude in any advice.

How about switching to a lighter battery? My Optima group 24 weights only 42 lbs. and I don't need a generator for just a few days of juice. :cool:

Could it power a 1500 watt appliance ?

Can it run an appliance of 1500Watts?

So you are charging your battery with the generator?

The optima can take 1500watts, but not for long, what are you running?

Vitamix blender but only for a few minutes twice a day. And 2 kind of big speakers.

As long as you want to invest $500 in an inverter and cables, until the amps run out! :cool:

how about sliding them up a board, a two by six or a two by eight, just a thought.

If you have a trailer hitch receiver on the vehicle, and your not towing, install a slide in rear carry rack. That will hold your battery and generator. You might leave the battery and generator on the rack while in use therefore no lifting while camping.
