you did this the hardest way possible lol. all you had to do was remove the lower brackets/ seats and remove the stop blocks limiting the travel and you could have just dropped that bed all the way to the floor. you did not need to attach the bed to the brackets for the seats.
Captain is correct. You did a lot of extra work. But you still got what you needed in the end. I’ve been contemplating removing my couches and building a bed frame so I can have two bunk beds. I’ve spent hours and hours in the camper measuring and remeasuring. My issue is that when we pull the golf cart in will a second permanent bunk hit the roof of the golf cart. It’s going to be super close. With the couches folded down I have enough room. Wish me luck...
That's actually pretty smart, y'all. You still have a bed, but, yeah, you ditch the weight and uselessness of those uncomfortable benches. The only way that's bad is if you need BOTH platforms for beds. But for guests, you're likely to have just two guests, not four.
From what I gather the problem with that idea is that the brackets for holding the sofas are the lifting Force for the top bed. Yes you could lower the stopping brackets for the top bed but you would still have to have the entire mechanism for the sofas installed. They lift and lower the top bunk. So you would end up with pointless brackets raising the top bunk and lowering it. The top bunk itself does not attach to the chain
We just removed the stops completely. I don’t think the bottom arms lift the top bed/bunk because ours only came with a small twin sized bunk on one side of the happijac system anyway. It’s not like the other side had empty arms just hanging there.
Regarding the stops for the top bed. There is a silver oval bracket with two screws inside each vertical rail. Remove the two screws and oval piece, then the original mounted bed will travel down.
I think the trouble will lie in that you can’t run the upper brackets without the lower brackets, so changing the bed to the lower brackets I think would be required.
You fast forwarded through the whole point of the video and played regular video of unrelated info such as washer drier and ramp info. Sorry for the criticism but show the important stuff of your topic please.

We apologize in advanced for the actions of Missy's father. LOL
Mike, you think it was a little hot!!! Gotta love missys dad. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!!
Right, that potty mouth!
Do you still have the sofas
No, had them in storage and developed mold, threw them out.
My question as well - we are taking ours out but don’t know what to do with them
Loved the little dance 🕺🤣🕺
HA! How bout that, the family dinners are very entertaining.

Also, using the bench brackets as the base for the bed, that's a lot more stable than those four tiny corner brackets.
Yep, it works for us better that the original set up. Thank you for watching!
You all are a mess. It's great to see how it really is. Not all the unicorns and rainbows others show. Hope to see you soon.
HA! Thank yah Jeff! See yahs soon!
What sliding glass doors do you have for the garage?
Hello Jrome, they are the Lippert 3 season doors. Thanks for watching.
Do you have a video on the curtains you did on the back?
No, they are on a heavy duty tension rod and they are thermal curtains. All from Amazon of course. amzn.to/44fypzg

G.E. model ?
Yes @@mikesimmons4456
So what's the top bed made of, it sure does look lite.
It's the ceiling, so 2 sheets of luan and foam.
Just for the record there is a much better way to do this. Leave the bed where is is, same brackets, and just move the stops
Thank yah.

Are you not able to just move the stops?
Great question, in my observation, or guess... The stops would not go all the way down as much as the lower bench rails.
