Does anyone have a diagram of the 1078 bed. I am looking specifically for the position and dimensions of the 4 square holes in the corners. I’m having a habit built and want to use those holes to attach it to my bed. I can measure but it need to be exact so a diagram might be better.
TIA!

I like the idea. I don't think there are any dimensionally accurate drawings of the bed available. I don't know what tolerance the bed is constructed to either, but it's probably not too tight (e.g. one bed to the next may vary 1/8" between the post holes?).
Trying to mate to all four post holes at the same time may be tricky. It will likely require one post to be rigid/fixed, and the others to be floating/adjustable (potentially with the ability to tighten/lock them in place once they are seated and pinned).
I have the LMHC (Light Material Handling Crane) that goes in the post hole, and the hole in the side for the safety pin is also very tight tolerance, causing a minor hassle having to wiggle the crane post around to get the hitch pin in. With more than one post, you'll have to have some capability to wiggle the posts around to accept the safety pins.
As something to think about, here's a note from one of my engineering design guides: "Only use 2 dowel locating pins: Regardless of size, only use two dowels to mate two components together. Using more will over-constrain the parts, and likely the extra dowels will be misaligned the slightest bit, causing the parts to bind and not fit together easily."
