Wow! That is very similar to Don's set up. A few slight mods and it is there. 1 man operation. Very nice and simple.

Yes, that's it. I just need to remove the front trolleys and I am there. I did not account for the slop I needed to move it up and down like that, but the front trolleys are not needed and will bind if they bed is not moved up and down level. I already have struts installed.

I can keep the tracks as is and just make front landings that I can unpin and move to adjust at bed height as I want with just pins in the back to stop the trolleys as I have now.

It is a good video. I wish I saw it before I tried to wing it. It would have saved me some work.

Thanks.

We saw that one last night. That guy's build is amazing! The design and implementation of the bed system are really genius.

He did an awesome job. It looks just like a Work and Play model. The floorplan is almost the same right down to the lower couches and etc.. The difference being, I am sure his is built better. He put some serious axles on that trailer also. Very skilled young man. He made some nice personal touches with the pullout under stovetop and end table by couch. I like the floor storage also. I have seen others do that also. Good stuff!
