Hi all. I've combed all the manuals and CD ROMS I have for my coach and can't find any description of he assembly of the rear setee seats. I need to remove the one over my freshwater tank so I can chase down a leak. Can anyone direct me to a page that tells me how it is connected to the sidewall of the cabinet there so I can remove it? I can see the bottom bolts easy enough where it is screwed on to the seat (where your knees would be if you were sitting on it) but can't see the connection to the backrest. Any links or description would be much appreciated.

Michael

Just remove the two front bolts. The rear crossmember at the bottom of the seat just slides under a cleat. To remove the settee just remove the two front bolts, lift the front and slide it forward. You can then lift the settee out.

Michael,
Emory has it right except that by sliding it "forward" he means
slide it toward you. Pull it toward the center of the coach.

Does the year model affect the answer to the question? The seats are made of plywood in the first generation and steel frames in later models.

Thank you so much for this info.

A lot simpler than I thought, too! Just didn't want any surprises once I got into it.
