We have been trying to fold the table down to use the dinette as a bed, but I think you must need to be an engineer to do it! Can anyone advise us on how to do it?  It looks like there are a couple of hinges, one high and one lower, on each leg, but we couldn't make them move. Do we just need some lubricant and more muscle? It looks like they should bend inward, but they don't budge. Any advice?Thanks!!!! ------------- Carol 177 HRE rpod 2014 Honda Pilot |

If it is just a larger version of the one in our 180, Pull the knob that is under the top out with one hand and then pull the table top away from the wall. ------------- 2018 R-pod 180 Hood River Edition |

Is yours attached to the wall? Ours is free standing. There is a pin or knob to pull out and a long spring attached to a bar underneath the table top. There doesn't seem to be anything to pull against to pull it away from the wall since it isn't attached. ------------- Carol 177 HRE rpod 2014 Honda Pilot |

Okay that is the same as our 180. It is not attached to the wall. Pulling the knob releases the catch that holds the top up. The top has to be pulled away from the wall to allow the hinges in the legs to fold. The table will fold down real easy if you pull the top away from the wall while while keeping the feet of the legs from moving. The table will fold down to the height of the bed, then slide it back in place up against the wall. ------------- 2018 R-pod 180 Hood River Edition |

We had the same difficulty figuring it out the first time too. Here's some photos to show how the table folds down.     ------------- 2018 R-pod 180 Hood River Edition |

Thank you, all! That is an immense help! should be able to do it now. Seems like it should come with directions! They may have shown us how it works 7 years ago when we picked up the Pod, but who remembers back that far?! ------------- Carol 177 HRE rpod 2014 Honda Pilot |
