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
