Richard,
I have a four post US-made lift that is the same as the current
Backyardbuddy 7000# lift (also US-made/Warren, OH))
https://www.backyardbuddy.com/
'Installed it in 2000. 'Use it for my car "fleet". The-then manufacturer,
Autolifters/Wichita, KS lost in the completion with Backyardbuddy in 2005.
'Parts still readily available. 'Did not buy one to accommodate the GMCMh as
it would have required 1 1/2 bay's width in my garage. 'Have a 14' high
ceiling in the GMCMh portion of my garage. Regardless of the lift you buy
for home use, I strongly recommend frequent inspection for worn parts. I
have replaced one pulley for a worn journal bearing and a seal in the slave
cylinder. I bought, and recommend, the 220VAC motor option.

Our new home for our GMC is still under construction but it is all framed
and we a roof. We are still waiting on siding and trim. I will still have
a lot to do in its interior before I can park the coach inside. Hopefully I
will be done before summer.
Sometime this spring, I hope to be buy a lift to store our towed (1978
Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible) when not in use. Also to be used for
maintenance of our cars.
Sadly there will be no room for a lift for "the Motorhome".
There seems to be dozens of companies selling lifts. I am wondering if
anyone here has had experience with 4-post lifts and could make
recommendations.

Richard,
Contact Jeff Sirum at Alex Sirum GMC and ask him about his two post unit.
If properly anchored in a 6"concrete it should be ok.
We have an elaborate 4 post 18,000 with Rear and front alignment pad and
two rolling hydraulic lifts.
I like the two post as it has more clearance.
Recommend weighing advantages.
