Flip-Pac structure, how does it work?

[gr1910]

hello, i've been reading this forum for a long time, and now is the time when i need some help...

i am writing from Venezuela, and i am VERY interested in making myself a flip pac stile camper tent...

The problem is, that all the tent manufacturers here in venezuela only make the normal fabric roof top tent... so i decided to make my own flip pac...

The thing is that i don't really know how the mechanism works... how does the bed holds?
does anyone knows how the holding mechanism of the part that folds is?

Thank You

The flip pac will be made for a toyota hilux:
