Dave,
If you go to: http://www.sportsmobile.com/1_rb-50.html you will find their photo's of the optional penthouse bed. You will see that the bed when down is supported by the two side rails of the penthouse assembly. If you look close you will note the two cleats (two more at other end of bed) that they use to attach bed to ceiling for out of the way storage. They have stainless steel 1/8" cable loops attached to ceiling that when you push the end of the bed up to the ceiling that you rap around the cleats.
Jack,
Photo 4 shows both of my drills setting on the drivers side bench. The small dark one is a 9.6 volt Black and Decker and the yellow one is one of my two Ryobi 18 volt drills (one a drill and one with hammer drill option). The Black and Decker (very old model) is my favorite: light weight (good for overhead use), good torque, reasonable battery charge life, and batteries last for years before needing replacing. Ryobi: has more torque (of course w 18v), battery charger charges battery reasonably fast, BUT the batteries DO NOT last for years like the B&D $$$.
I took my pet ("old reliable" B&D 9.6v w two batteries and charger) to Mirebalais Haiti with me but recharging took 24 hours with the cities 96 volt line voltage. I got a fell days work out of the drill drilling cinder block walls for wall anchors. Second battery did not die until end of work day. Put one battery on charger in hotel room and at 1 am got up (5 hr charge time) and switched to second batter on the charger (another 5 hours of charge time) only to discover that neither battery had a charge when I got to work that morning. Had to leave one battery on charger for 24 hours to get it charged. We had a 18 volt DeWalt and it would recharge in a reasonable time with that sub-standard voltage (but only had one battery for it).
