Hi Richard, there should be some hardware that joins the bed frame to the walls of the RV.If its spring loaded just put in a block of wood to hold it open.Then you can get to the hardware.

i remember seeing a system like this one time. 4 long black arms attached to the 4 corners of the bed. the bed would just swing dowm. the arms pivoted on shafts that just appeared out of the wall, the springs and mounts totally embedded in the walls. quite a bit of tension on the system to support the bed. i never serviced it, but if that sounds like the system, be careful...

BE very very careful... They are Spring loaded and do have a lot of tension. I removed one the hard way and almost lost a finger cuz I wasnt paying attention.. The second one I dropped down to open position and put blocks of wood to keep it from closing, along with duct tape. and removed the side bolts from the walls. Just look it over real good,, get an idea of the mechanics of how it operates and slowly remove,, P.S.  It it way easier with 2 people.. Good luck, and please be very careful.
