I've rigged a few for customers but they were old Prevost busses converted with full slide outs and every emenity you can squeeze into one. They are pretty neat, you would never know what it was going down the road. Antenna wise KVH, XM weather/audio, wifi booster, etc. They are a challenge to rigg bc of top crowning...

You will be hard pressed to put a lift in a 4" slab, it will spider crack in no-time.

All of it cracks eventually. Best the thing to do is put expansion joints around the lift.

For the lift, just cut out an appropriate sized square opening in the slab and pour a suitable isolated footing.
