hermanmullins Report post Posted June 26, 2016 EskerBahn, Welcome to the Forum. Are you talking about your bed in the bedroom? If so our bed has two struts that help support the bed in the raised position. To lower the bed, all I do is just push down on the bed and down it will go. My only problem is that the bed is too heavy to stay up with out holding it up or putting something to support it. What you may have are two really strong struts. And then again maybe not.

manholt Report post Posted June 26, 2016 Mine are strong, I just push hard and it comes down ! I keep nothing under it, but my re-set switch for all things DC is there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted June 26, 2016 Eskerbahn, What brand are your gas springs? And, as suggested most are just "push back down", but yours could have a positive lock mechanism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcolburn Report post Posted June 26, 2016 There are two struts holding the bed up in our coach. One of them has a plastic collar at the end of the cylinder which locks the strut at full extension. To lower the bed I just have to squeeze the collar back in to release it. --Tim C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted June 27, 2016 EskerBahn, Welcome to the forum. I have a lock similar to what tcolburn has but mine uses a spring that pushes a split collar over to hold the bed up. Just press it to the side when you want to lower the bead. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
