No banging in my bed

[Folkranger]

A class bed. Everyone I've had rattles, bangs and knocks along the road. Just found these two adjusters, one at each side. Drop the bed, open the side window or door. Rubber bump stop on adjusting stud. If you can push it up and down, adjust to take up slack. Easy peasy.

Love the thread title

Not much in mine either.

Bit of a shame no banging in your bed

That's a good find as you know mine is a DL similar to yours. I have a bit of a rattle on one side tried lubricating everything and making sure all the bits are tight.
Not noticed the parts you mentioned I hope they are not just on yours because you have the single bed extentions

Will have to get hubby to have a shuftie as when travelling we have a creak on the nearside of the cab bed which stops for a while if the 'hook' which holds the bed in the closed position is lathered in Vaseline (steady Lenny, steady ) but it soon starts again, hubby was gonna see if putting some tubing over the hook part would work so it wasn't 'metal on metal' but if there's a way to adjust it there would be no need.

Oh dear it’s getting worse

Looking at I would say they are standard. Just drop the bed and look through the side window.

Just spotted your connotations.

Minxy, you're as bad as Lenny.

Sorry Lenny HB but your post is the funniest I've ever seen on this site. My chuckle muscle went into spasm and tears came to my eyes. I tried to read it to my wife but the spasm prevented me from speaking for a while. Half an hour later I had just about stabilised when Minxy Girl said "she asked her hubby to take a shuftie and in the closed position it was lathered in vaseline", well I was finished completely. Don't think I'll post again for a good while.

Better adjust your bump stops

Ouch it's one thing not having 3 in the bed but attaching a ladder to your knob? Ouch!

Minxy, you're as bad as Lenny.

I nearly said 'rubber tubing' instead of just 'tubing' but thought better of it as I didn't think Lenny's heart would be able to take any more excitement!

Rubber tubing, vaseline, the warm celery and the flying helmet, and enough time to get down to the chemist without getting too much out of breath, requesting those blue tablets, and then back to the abode, without getting too much out of breath, but quicker than 30 minutes, otherwise pedestrians are likely to ask what you're pointing at ....

And then rush into the boudoir, frothing with excitement ... And 15 seconds later, you remember that if you had read your book instead, you would at least have had a chance of improving your mind ...

Mine's a drop-down one that uses electricity to get it moving.
For a while it used to creak when on the move.
Finally it started to swing from side to side.
Turns out one of the screws holding it in place had dropped out.
I had awful trouble slipping my hand up the little space to reinsert it and several attempts to get it in nice and tight.
Finished up putting a big dollop of nail polish on the end to keep it up there.

"I am of course referring to a securing screw on the bed. (NURSE NURSE HES doing it again!!)

Lenny HB Just the screw you wanted.

I've wedged a mahoosive scrunched-up ball of bubblewrap covered with a lovely black gaffa tape binding between the bed edge and the fixed upper panel to stop ours from clattering and banging whilst driving along. Tremendous improvement to a brand new Carthago Wishing I'd taken a test drive in it before committing to purchase as I might seriously have had second thoughts about buying a new A-Class with overhead cab bed. One of the latching pins was so loose it literally fell off when I investigated what on earth was allowing the bed to make such a clattering racket. Vor Sprung Durch? Not blooming likely!

Me too, but either my thread's buggered, or I've been using a rh screw for a lh thread. Whatever the reason, it does cause physical problems and a very ginger approach when walking ... Loose garments and a broad gait, moving at a slow pace seem to fit the bill [as the duck' tailor said]

Might be neither. You may be trying to mate a tapered male thread with a parallel female. Causes it to keep slipping out.
