Hi all;
I am the proud new owner of a 1976 Eleganza II that I am renovating with
the help of a local gentlemen RV specialist.
The dinette in the coach (behind the passenger seat) was in really pretty
bad shape, aesthetically and structurally. It is now out and on the trash
heap!
I would like to add a jack-knife sofa or something similar as a replacement
but I'm having trouble finding something I feel confident would work in the
space (Approx 65" from "hump" to entry door, and if we can go over the
"hump" that adds a good many more inches. I remember seeing a post
somewhere about a sleeper sofa that was retrofitted to accommodate the GMC
"hump" but now I can't find that anywhere.
My main goal is to maximize usable sleeping space - nobody in the family is
shorter than 5'8" and two of them have many more years of growing yet to
do! The rear of the coach has the full size mattress. The couch/bunk bed
is in great shape and was recently reupholstered. I would welcome any and
all recommendations!
Shirley
