Well I did a bit more work today but no more 'till sometime after the weekend I'm afraid as I'll be out of town [8D] ... but not flying [

]
Anyhow there was good news and bad news today. First the good news. I decided to tackle taking the bunks out. Here's where I started (Pic 1) It looked I was going to have to take out 4 bolts on each side that would allow each of the successive telescoping sections to come out... I decided to start with the one closest to the body of the trailer. I pulled out the slide far enough to line up the hole in the slide (You can see the whole on the back of the rail in Pic 2) with the head of the bolt (which turned out to be an allen bolt... unlike everything else I'd seen so far!) and unscrewed one one on each side. Holey-Moley!! That was all it took. 5 minutes later and I was here (pic 3).

Five more minutes and I had both out! That was sweet
