B+ motorhomes
I just bought a Trail Lite B+ 211s with 8.1 Chevy engine. This is my fifth motorhome (others range from an old 20' Vagabond, and three Winnegagos, from 19 to 32'. This vehicle is fantastic. I am...

re: "I made supports for the jack-knife soft using 2" schedule 80 PVC and 2" to 4" schedule 80 PVC couplings. 2" PVC pipe is slotted to fit frame of the sofa. I have a 1/4" sheet of plywood the size of the table (fits under a dinette cushion) that I lay over the crack between the sofa and knocked down dinette. On top of that we put a throw."
I'd love to see photos illustrating that frame. I'm having troubles visualizing the application of the slotted PVC. Maybe I can cobble something suitable together. We did get a Coleman air mattress...while it was 'better' it really didn't serve out needs very well. Got the little 12V air pump, could have used that back about 50 years ago...
Sorry Quitejake, no pix, we're in Mission TX for the winter in our class A, the B+ is in storage in the soon to be white north. I'll try to describe, others have posted here before about supports.
Our jack-knife sofa has about a 1½ x 1½ angle frame at the ends of the seat. I bought 2 2" x 4" PVC reducing couplers for the base of the support and inserted a piece of 2" PVC pipe around 8-10" long. I cut a 1/4" slot about 2" into the pipe end away from the coupling to fit the frame angle. When we set up for the night, we slide the angle into the supports as we unfold the jack-knife. The couplings make a nice solid base for the supports.
