I took it back to the dealer and the timed/synchronized the motors and said it should be fine, again not saying anything about driving with the pins installed. Well this time the bunk can down 6 inches on the drivers side. They synchronized the motors again yesterday and said to install the pins when driving. Well on the ride home the drivers side started working down again, going down about an inch and resting on the pins. Calling the dealer again this morning. UGH!

ALWAYS drive with the pins in for the overhead bunk... It can and will come down as you rattle down the road.
I have always found the weight of the bunk on the pins - and typically have to move it slightly UP to be able to easily remove the pins before lowering.

Dealer should have had the pins in place the first time you left.

(Mine doesn't come down anywhere near an inch to rest on pins - can't tell looking at the ceiling that it really shifted - but its weight is always on the pins after I start down the road.)
