It sounds like you are talking about the riser devices under the bed. They are called gas props, gas springs, or gas struts. RV Designer carries these and has a good selector chart: http://rvdesigner.com/gas_props.asp?ci=12 Camping World and Amazon usually carry a selection. If you do have to replace the originals this is an opportunity to upgrade to higher force units if you have added heavy bedding such as a topper. However, you may also have to beef up the mounting points for the stronger struts. The stronger struts can split the wood where they are attached. |

We had a queen bed once in a MH that was on hydraulic lift. Is that what you have?

Have not heard of that happening yet. My answer is usually take a hammer to it, but that usually cost more in the long run. I would call the dealer or if you got it on a private sale given Doug at Mekelsen's rv a call. He is a tech man there and fellow r-pod own. Can usually guide you through probelms over the phone.

The bars that hold up the storage area under the queen bed in our Rpod got stuck in the open position.
Has anyone experienced that? Do you know what they are called and how to find replacement parts if needed? We have a 2014 181G. |
