Hello All, I'm close to completing the rear lounge area in my 1975 Coachmen Royale. When I purchased the coach it had a full bed in the rear, during my renovation it appeared as though the full bed had been modified from another layout, could have been a U-shaped lounge originally,(which is what I have gone back to), or possibly two twins, I'm not certain?
I have been looking at ideas to allow the table top to drop down and form the bed. I have looked at several marine applications which are very interesting, and expensive, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars for the hydraulic lifting mechanism only.
The traditional office chair gas riser offers some hope but the travel is limited to approximately 4-5 inches. My table top is ~30" and the bed height is 19", so I require around 11" of travel.
This looks interesting, but I don't know if it is available commercially or if it was a custom design... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/95/73/b7/9573b7d590403285ad025089d098af44--airstream-remodel-van-camping.jpg
It would be nice to allow people to slide around the table unobstructed by a large device or struts sticking out from the sides.
Have you seen or used something that could be helpful?
Thanks,
Mike
