Hi. Just used our lovely Conway Cruiser 2005 for first time. Had problems with the button springs and extending horizontal tie bars as not used for a while and very stiff and sticking. Any advice on how to make button springs pop in easier, and extending bars move in and out easier?

Also, when putting down, the bed support legs did not stay in the flexible clip under the bed, and dropped down to block the bed sliding back in. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance: this is a great website!! thanks to all you helpful and knowledgable people out there.

Hi, try spraying them with a silicon spray or wd40 let it soak in and then press in and out numerous times, hope this helps. Bry

Hope that helps...!

do not use WD40 anywhere near your canvas!the silicone spray is a good idea.
