Happy Jac Bed System

[Birdie1025]

Looking at a 2007 weekend warrior FK2100 that has a manual pull down bed. Is it a DIY to install a happy jac bed system? Do you have to remove anything to install the power connections?

Thanks

We have an FK2100 and love it other than the bed. As we get older it gets to be a bit more of a pain to climb the ladder to get in and out of bed. Mirage Trailers ( http://www.mirageinc.com/happijac-power-bed-lift-w-optional-double-bunk ) was recommended and they do sell the Happi Jac. I was interested until I found out how much it would cost to get it to Canada. I looked into what it would take to install it and it looks like the walls would have to be opened up and some blocking added. Might or might not be a big deal. The electrical part of it would probably be easyish for me. I also looked into putting in a fold down bed, almost like a murphy bed, but haven't quite decided on that either. For now the ladder works but it's not ideal.

If that is a requirement keep looking for one that already has one, those systems are around $4000.

Those WW pull down beds were pretty bullet proof. You might actually like what's already in there. Since it's manual, it's one less thing to break.

I would imagine it's quite a job. I doubt backing will be in the correct locations, you'll need power and switching, etc.
