Bed is back in! That was a very challenging project and we are delighted with the result.
- It is a 3 person job
- 3 x 2" or CLS is essential to use as a canterlever when taking down and putting back up.
- to remove the frame take the following out in order:
1. Remove anything on dashboard.
2. Remove mirror from headlining & electrics.
3. Remove internal frames from window.
4. Remove headlining and twist out to store in back of van.
5. Remove blinds, and blind shelves covers.
6. Remove mattress.
7. Remove 13mm strut bolts.
8. Remove trailing arm 13mm bolts.
9. Remove 13mm dampner bolts.
10. Support frame and unscrew both sides.
11. Using seatbelt roof clip lower down using a rope. We put thick cable ties through as a lowering point.
12. The 3 x 2" supports the back of the bed and the whole frame bows towards the dashboard. We used an old duvet to rest her on.
If you are reading this and tempted to have a go, it can be done. Good luck.
