Options for Lifting RV Queen Bed

Thanks for all the feedback so far. The Melbourne 29d and 29c are virtually the same as far as the bed sliding out. Since we replaced the mattress with a "Bed-in-a-box" foam mattress it now weighs about 80 pounds, much heavier than the original mattress that sits on a sliding plywood base. Due to the extra weight it is difficult to lift and hook the metal rod support that the RV came with.
Drawers sound good, but the space limitations around the base would prevent them from being pulled out very far.
Right now the best idea may be to use a variation of the dowel rods with rubber tips.
