Bed modification to Queen and more under bed storage

[caissiel]

In the summer I was able to modify the King bed frame to fit our new Queen size bed.
I narrowed the frame on one side by 12" and centered the bed frame on the center of the slide.
While I had the frame appart I took the chance to lift the front of the bed by 1 1/2" so my head would be up.

In the same time I was able to look at the possibility to increase the underbed storage from 2" to 6".
The steel supports for the slide provided a good starting point in determining the amount of space I had.
So I cut 5 1 x 3 strapping to proper length and installed them on side of the cylinder and slide frame supports.
I used steel strapping and angles to support the frame and proceded to drop the frame by 4".

The following pics indicate the finish product of the bed modifications to our BC 3500RL
