2020/2021 XLS 21BHE Murphy Bed Frame Help

[Jrodpic]

Finally found a 21BHE close by. It’s a few hundred miles away so the owner has been sending me pictures before I drive there this weekend to check it out in person and hopefully lock up the deal. In one of the pictures I noticed a piece of the bed frame is detached. The owner claims it is just a piece of wood trim that needs to be glued back on. I thought it was metal framed..... anyone have any insight? Should I be concerned about that???

Very minor
Mind you I have no idea why he didn’t tack it back into place before he took the picture. ?????


And the bed base is wood. Not metal

I’m new here so still trying to figure out how to insert pics

Ok so it is something that can just be glued back together??

Everything I’ve seen only shows a latch on the right side

Yes. I just looked at a stock photo and none on that side

About 26 mins in on this video the guy says the bed is laminated and aluminum framed. Guess that means the inside framing. I was under the impression the outside frame was aluminum as well.

Yes there is only 1 latch on the right side, as you are facing the bed. And yes, the frame is aluminum underneath or inside the frame. You should be able to glue the trim back on

Thanks for the reply. I ended up buying it last weekend. Used some double sided tape to reattach the trim piece. Easy fix.

Right on. We have had ours for little over a month. 2 trips in it already and we really love it. I’m sure you will as well

Awesome! Yeah can’t wait to take it out. Tires had some wear on them so I replaced them with Goodyear Endurance. Going to get it aligned next week and then we should be good to go.
