Has anyone had any issues with there drop down bed?  As ours has started to rattle when driving or sleeping?

I have a Benimar with a fixed at rear & drop down above the lounge area, so behind the cab.

There are 'rattles' but these are from the clips on the end of the straps that secure the safety netting to bed & roof..... then there is the 'flexing' created by the general movement of the bed & the fibreglass trim/overcab storage which can be quite pronounced dependent on the road surface that you're traversing...

Nothing much you can do with the trim/storage but I was once advised to raise bed to stop, then just give the button a very quick press down to eliminate any 'squeaks'.....

Not sure if this helps you tho'....!

Actually Nev that is a bit of a lazy way of going about things...........................driving from your bed, reversing must be a pain!. wink
