will this extender flip back into the bed while attached and clear the tire wells to lay flat without unattaching it?

I have a shorter 2013 Ram Truck bed (approx 5'5" interior length) and it lays in the bed nicely while attached with the gate closed - approx 4" clearance between the AMP extender and the wheel wells. As a bonus, the AMP extender cannot be removed while the gate is closed. So if you have a locking gate, the AMP extender can remain in your vehicle pretty securely.

When I installed it I pulled it all the way back. The wheel wells will provide a stop. I have maybe 1/4" to 3/8" exposed bed. That would be as full a covering as you may need. And it's thicker than you may realize. Have fun! MERRY CHRISTMAS

Yes. The part that plugs into the wall lays flat. So no worries about the bed.

No it is stationary. You may not have a problem depending on the size of your tire but my is oversized at 35 inches and that causes the problem. I have heard there are extenders available to add to the hitch but haven't looked for them yet. One thing is that the upright bar does fold down but only to about 45 degrees and not enough to open the swing gate on my wrangler.

Yes. I make sure that it stretches out enough that no angles would flip in, otherwise, just strap on whichever is closest

It hasn't set mine off, but I retract it whenever the vehicle is on. It's probably NOT designed to be extended while the vehicle is in motion. I would further guess that it's no different than having the tailgate down while using a bed extender. I haven't tried this, but I would think it wouldn't be in the line of sight of the alert system.

Only if you put it at the top of the bed only. You would need to really stretch it and loose "the look" if you tried to do it sideways.

No. I flips under. It is not flat on the ground. It sort of has an incline.

Yes if it's emptied. I also turned mine upside down. You have to disconnect it from downspout first.

Yes but it may twist up due to it's length. It might work well if the drill is used very slowly.

It should, since the adaptor is supposed to be flush with the rest of the backstrap.

no not really it kinda comes out to a full extension and stays but it works pretty good in the horizontal orientation.

You would need to get a hitch extender. Something like this to clear the back tire: 12" Trailer Hitch 2" Square Class III Extension Adapter Towing Extender #5000 lbs

No need to remove the tire. It will mount above and behind the tire, then strap down below.

Yes. The unit uncoils and retracts from both ends equally. It won't work properly any other way.

If you flip it on its side off the box spring, you can use a safety pin to hold it in place, adjust the length and make sure end clips can be reached when you push it back over on to the box spring.

No. Mine also needs to be guided back into place but it's not a problem and I don't remember anything stating that it would spring back into place.
