Is it possible to install shoulder harness/seat belts on the couch/bunk
(behind driver's seat)?

Has anyone already done this and if so can you point me to how it is done
(where to anchor, etc.)?

Thanks!

If you are talking about the couch bunks which are parallel with the coach I don't think there would be much safety benefit with a shoulder belt. A shoulder belt is designed to stop your upper body from moving forward in a collision not sideways. It might make you feel safer but I don't think you want all that force on your neck if you were to get into a frontal collision.

Shirley,
Our 77 El II had factory seat belts for the couch. You should check and see if they are down behind the couch seat. They might be there.

Did you ever get your sofa? I have one that is 60" wide that I can give you. I will be in North Carolina/South Carolina over Memorial day weekend.
