With the limited space in our little trailer, I felt that I have to use every little cubby hole. With the help of my mother, we made some slip covers to hide the terrible dye job the previous owner did on the cushions.
This sofa makes a bed just shy of a queen size mattress. The dinette also makes a bed. This allows this little RV to sleep 4 adults and 2 kids or maybe 2 adults and 4-6 kids. Pretty impressive in my opinion.
