How do I put the bed down?

[Shappa]

I bought my daughter a 2009 Alfa Seeya fifth wheel. We put the bed up so I could show her the underbed storage and to air it out. Now, I can't get the bed down. with other 5th wheels I've been in, you just lifted up a little and then it slid down, this won't allow that. I can't find any pins that need pushed in on the sides of the metal arms holding the bed up, etc. Help!

Ours was real hard even with the OEM mattress in place....push hard feels like something is going to break.

Replaced OEM mattress with a Tempur-Pedic......very light pressure and it closes great.
I know, I know...$$$ to make the storage close easier but FT'ng the OEM mattress HAD to go. The easier closing was a side benefit :B

Welcome to the forum. I can't help you other than to say there is an Alfa Owners group on Yahoo that may provide an answer and a group in CA called Alfateers that may help. Good Luck

Mine is just a "push down hard" type as well. Give it a go.

YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had also tried pushing down several times, but it never worked and I was afraid of breaking it. I just went back out and pushed down hard, one side slid down, but not the other. I tried again. No luck. I tried pushing down hard a third time AND voila!! It finally went down! Thank you again, so much!

I tried that. Hasn't worked. I keep hoping, so I have tried it numerous times, hoping that I was just mistaken the first dozen times. LOL 😛
