1988 10M mid-cabin, forward berth bed disassembly

Post by Scott67 »

Good-day all!
Is there an easy way to dismantle the forward bed frame to get full access to the holding tank? The bed slides apart (extends) like most do, but I cannot seem to find the attachment point(s) to remove the top.
Anyone got a tip or two?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this helps or not
I opened up the sliding doors at the foot of the bed and looked
up towards the underside of the platform
there is a piece of wood on each slider that acts as a stop
my guess is they have to be removed
after that I don't know
I plan on opening mine up after you figure out how to do it
:)

Once you remove the mattress, all of those plywood/laminate panels unscrew from the top and lift off. Easy access to the tank at that point.

Just re-read your post. Do you mean “full access” like remove the tank or just access to the top?

Bob,
Just access to the top for cleaning/inspection would be all I want. I did the best I could with reaching in from underneath the bed. Would be nice to get at it from the top. However, I've since gotten derailed with a more pressing issue, bilge blower/hoses...a real mess. I need to sort that out first.

RR,
I'll be sure to get some video or pics at the least for sharing when I get back to that project.

Appreciate all the feedback....more to follow.
