Amerigo truck camper

Hello, I have bought a amerigo truck camper with snap, but no nap. I want rebuild the fold down bed, but can not figure how it works. Can anyone help with pics or tell me how it works. I don't see how the snap hinge works, or how it slides down the sides. Any help would be great.
Thanks Harry

    Go to this link and when you open it, click images, then original copy which will enlarge the drawing. Snap N Naps work with piano hinges at certain pivot points....see if this helps.

    That is an awesome link.

    I would try and buy parts from an old Amerigo that someone is parting out. My bottom (bed) was all busted up. Fortunately I was able to sauter the broken areas and save the supports, but it is still really delicate. We have to be careful not to jump around of put too much weight on it.

  • I have watched your video 100 times. I can't figure how it is hinged at the bottom of the snap.
