Hi Guys,
Our coach is set up with the dry bath in back with the two bunks on either side in front of the bath. Ive been thinking that it would be nice to have one large sleeping area that can be pulled out at night at put away in the morning in that area. The distance of the isle between is pretty much the width of the bottom cushion. Our coach came with a cpl extra of these and would fit perfectly to fill the aisle.

Has anyone done a similar mod? Im envisioning something that pulls out from the fixed seating on either side to bridge the gap and then slide the bottom cushions to meet in the center and the back cushions flatten out to fill the gap on either side by the exterior walls.

Thoughts?

Thanx guys

K

Sir, our 23' Crestmont has a couch that makes into the bed. It has a wooden plywood base with legs on it that slides out from under the cushions. Pics aren't the best but all I can find for now. I had some pics on an album where we remade it but they just disappeared?

Kevin,

After our 4 months long trip to Alaska, SHE swore "I'm never going to crawl
to the bathroom again." So I had to change the passage-blocking
expands-to-queen bed in our rear bath Birchaven to twins. SHE still
travels with me.

Do you have pics of how you had it set up? I was thinking something that could be easily slide away so except for sleeping you could have easy access to the bathroom.

Sorry, no photos. It was a simple sliding platform that pulled out across
the aisle, then the backrest cushions filled the new area. It was
comfortable. but in the way.
