Hybrid beds are to heavy

[loveis]

Last year I bought my first and only travel trailer a a Rockwood Roo 233s. My daughter and I looked into a number of trailers and I picked this one for me. I tried putting down the beds with and without her and I seemed to be able to handle them. Wrong I am to old to handle them compfortably by myself. The set up is great for me to take my children and grandchildren camping but I have had other adults with me to help. There is plenty of room with the fold down beds and slide out but, I can not do it myself. I want to go out by myself or with just my young grandchildren. I have contacted people at Forest River to see if there are any things that could be added to the beds to lower them and raise them esier for me by myself. I have also called various companys that sell Rockwood Roos no help there. I would appreciate any help or advice you could provide. Thank you Kathleen Debernardi

Interesting question. Let me think....

~Plan "A" What about having someone screw in a small bracket on the inside outer section of the bunk. Attach a strong cord to the bracket, maybe put a handle on the end of the cord. So when opening the bunk up, you unlatch it on the outside. (The bunk will stay up as mine will) then go inside and grab the cord and or handle, give the bunk and mattress a little push and hold onto the cord to ease it down. On closing it back up, on the outside, un zelcro the material, fold it up (the tenting material), go inside and pull the cord. After using the cord just tuck it under the mattress.

~Plan "B"Get a old broomstick with a 90 degree hook on the end. Un latch the bunk, hold the hooked broomstick on the upper lip of the bunk and pull it open a hair, then use the broomstick to help ease it down.

~Plan "C" Ask for help....when you arrive at the campground. From 25 years of camping, I have learned fellow camps are there to help....
