We store some extra egg crate foam mattress toppers for the extra beds in our camper, and it's really difficult to take them in and out, along with extra quilts etc. that we put in there. Our thoughts: something to hold wooden cover in place (prop it up) while getting things out, such as a rod. Or cutting a door into the end panel of the bed that could slide across providing access, eliminating the need to lift the heavy bed. Anyone tried anything that has worked? Just looking for ideas. Pictures would be helpful if you've modified something to help with storage. We also have storage in this RV under the couch area, but that is really hard to access without pulling out the whole pullout bed, so we don't keep much under there.

Simple....wooden dowel with a little notch in each end to accommodate the mattress frame up and the bed frame down. Lift, put the dowel in and then store either under the bed or in the closet next to the bed....just like the older cars that have a rod to keep the hood up. Want to get fancy, attach the dowel on the mattress side with a little hinge just like the cars do. Or, just have someone (me) hold the bed up while the other person (wife) gets or stores the stuff
