Eric, when I first got my friendship we had to get to the engine compartment from under the bed. As you said there are no lifts to hold the bed up so I used a a 2X4 to brace it up then proceded to tear out the alum. bed frame which of course was held to the floor by screws and after removal of these the welds on the frame all broke. I had to pry up the carpent to find a trap door to the engine compartment that had about 8 2" lag bolts in it. Once removed it made the engine compartment accessable.

In puting it all back togeather I redesigned the alum bed frame took it to a welding shop and had that bad boy welded up MY Way before re-installing it. I dont know if any of this will help you but felt it was worth a mention as the lag bolts were hidden under the carpet.
