Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis

It will be very heavy if you add planks to your plywood, I did that on my 51' But it does help keep weight on the back tires for the one legged wanders like me! On my last build, I took planks and then tied them together with some cross boards. Makes it lighter but still heavy. I can easily slide the whole unit out. alot of guys get fancy with shocks and remote lifting beds, its just overkill and not as practical (unless you lift bed to fill gas). It much easier to just have all the bed wood out to access your stuff. But you'd want to find way to secure the bed down, unless you want to hear it moving up and down on a big bump, which happens to me.
