I will probably end up mounting it in the bed, but for now it is staying under it. That is, if I can get it out without destroying the mechanism. I don't know why it is not working though. It worked just three months ago...this isn't cool. I don't have a ton of bedspace. I use my bed for a sleeping location when I go camping, and I don't think there is enough room back there for my toolbox, me, and a spare. I guess I will dink with it next weekend. Any other reasons why it might be stuck? Thanks!
