Still searching for the elusive bottom to the davo bunk that I have. Apparently I need the bottom couch cushions for coaches with a wood dinette. Later model flexsteel will not work. If you just have the measurements that would be great. It looks to be close to 72" long x 24" wide x 4" thick. Should be easy to ship this 1 cushion. You could probably roll it up and put it in a vaccum compression bag. Thanks!

You could probably just get by with wrapping the foam with the fabric, and duct tape the bottom.

Yes. That is probably what I will end up doing when I know the correct measurements.

Did the deal between Dan Borlase and Kerry Pinkerton on the Swap Meet fizzle? Kerry was talking about removing his Davo bunk in the near future.

we had cushions made for entire coach using ultra suede. I also made custom hinges to allow the base to open fully. The original only allows a few inches of access because the base hits the step.

You have made some very impressive progress on your coach over the last year+.
Thank you for sharing the photos.

I agree Sean. Wow! Wish I had caught those cushions when you were giving them away.

Thank you, I have a great support system (CFO) and I love to tinker.

But could not do a lot of it without the dedication of GMCNETers
