Greeting all -
We picked up the '77 Birchaven and I am now checking out various things
(and marveling at the intricacies of the coach design).
I tried deploying the upper bunk bed and I must be doing something
wrong. The back cushion of the davenport (Gaucho? what's a 'Gaucho'?)
swings up but it is so heavy I cannot manage (alone) to get the support
straps anywhere near the ceiling hook it is supposed to clip to.
Is that normal or is there a counterbalance spring or something that may
be missing?
Thanks in advance

Yes it's that heavy, and has a part of it tucked behind as well. Get a friend top help.

Face the cushion and use both arms and life. As it rises, the back section
will tend to drop.
Grab that section and lift , then shift over to the belt and hook one at a
time.
