I took mine off and stored it in 2003... it still looks good.
I see it when I help change the kingsized bed at home. I store it between the mattress and the box springs... on Janets side. She has never complained but she is always ready to travel.... never a complaint even when we are gone for months at a time.
I doubt that there will be any changes until our TC falls apart... unless I forget to put it back on the fruck when we sell it.
I like the engineering on the OP's storage system. We have some very creative and intellegent folks in the TC forum.... most of them fit this description for that matter.
I'll be looking for more projects from this guy. I love learning.
Thanks for sharing
