Can I Change Out a Jacknife Sofa to a Sleeper?
Still RV homeless. I am gearing up for a more concentrated effort in the fall. We have been all over the lot, Class A, Class B, Class B+, large Class C & have finally settled upon a smaller Class C (under 25'). I Googled RV manufacturers and found no one made exactly what we would want in our RV. Must haves include a comfortable queen bed that I don't have to climb up into, an overhead bunk for the grandkids, and a dinette on the passenger side.
I have come up with a solution, I think. If a 24-25' RV had a slideout, couldn't I replace the jackknife sofa with a pullout queen size sofa? Of course I would need adequate room both in the slide and with the bed extended. Maybe that doesn't exist? There seems to be a plethora of these sleeper sofas on the Internet for around $1,000. The grandkids would only come occasionally but we would like to have a place for them too. My health and age don't allow for me climbing up into an overhead. The smaller RV would be easier to park and drive as well as easier to clean and maintain. Is there something wrong with my logic or something I don't understand about small Class Cs?
