As far as I know, Mike is correct about the bed/exit. And it brings up a question. For as long as I have owned a TM, people have said that the bed will fall down outside the camper if you don't engage the pin. But neither of my TM's have worked that way. In fact, the bed CAN'T drop, because the braces, outside the camper, are below it.
In both of my TM's, the bed/exit works as Mike said - you lift the front edge of the bed and go out under it. When engaged, the pin prevents the bed from being lifted, presumably as a "lock" to keep intruders out. I personally have never engaged the pin. In fact, I have removed it, along with the pins that lock the front slider in place. They seemed to serve no useful purpose, and were often in the way, or caught on something.
So what's the story? Is this a model-specific, or age-specific thing? Does anyone have a TM in which the bed will actually fall out if the pin is not engaged? I'm not sure I'd be comfortable trusting the weight of my wife and myself to that dinky little pin, or the little block of wood it plugs into.
