Adding adjustable bed frame on a 3501.

[Robertb4588]

My wife and I full time in our 3501. I have multiple Myeloma and will be looking at more back surgery. I am currently renting a house and using a hospital bed. My question is has anyone looked into the bed frames. We have been looking at the frames from a company out of California called axel bloom. Does anyone have any experience with them. Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated. I would really hate to give up on my dreams of living in my RV. I will continue to post on how I am making out as well as how these frames work and serve our purpose.
Thank you for any help in advance. Bob

Update my wife just got off of the phone with the owner of axel bloom who is a engineer who is going to customize not only the adjustable frame but also the mattress needed for this frame. If you don't have a standard sized bed pedestal don't worry they can custom make these adjustable frames to fit your unit. We have a narrow king mattress with a narrower pedestal and they told us not to worry they can make the frame to fit. The employee that my wife spoke to was actually the owner who spent over an hour explaining the whole process but also answering any of her questions. He also directed her to and recommended what would be best for me not the most expensive ones they carried. Now that's customer service.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Happy to hear you are looking at all options to help you keep going on the road.

One observation though on the new bed frame configuration....Just make sure it doesn't get any longer that the original mattress. When the slide comes in, the mattress comes right up to and touches the dresser.
