176T bed folding Q....

   My 176T did not come with any instructions on folding up the bump out. The guy I bought it from retracted the bows then took the canvas off the tent bows(velcro strips) before folding it up, but I it seems like you should not have to do that . I tried it without taking the tent off the bows but they kinda stick out into the dinette when folded so I might be missing a step on when to tuck them?
I see some male velcro strips hanging inside (2)on each side of the bed that are attached to the canvas, but don't see the female counterpart??? I have a feeling if it was a snake, I'd be bit since it must be an obvious thing to the oblivious me.

	176T's are pretty rare.. hopefully someone knows and can help you. Are the velcro straps the kind that are male on one side, female on the other so they wrap around something, and attach to themselves.

	Well when I went to take a pic of the velcro flaps it dawned on me the storm flap rolls v DOWN not up so the female velcro is on the outside of it Anyway, I am going to wait for a little warmer weather to start experimenting with the best configuration to fold up the hybrid bump out.
