If anybody has removed a jackknife sofa, how hard was this and did it come out of the coach easily?
Frank would like me to remove the one here and drop it with him near Lexington (KY). So, I would have to get it out working alone that strap it to the back porch for transit. I don't mind, but I'm not real hot to start if I can't do it alone.

Mine was only attached wth 4 lag bolts. Easy. Hard to manhandle outa
there but doable.

Matt, I have removed mine before but when I did I had the dinette seats already removed. I think to take it out by yourself can be done but for sure a lot easier with two people.

Thanks Billy and Jon,

This one was clearly not an OE install. It did have two lag screws and two Loonng carriage bolts through the step.

Thanks again,

Matt
