So before I put the driver's seat back I wanted to take a look at the couch.
Ever since we had the new carpet installed by a RV service center one side has seemed to drop.
We asked them to take a look and they said they could find nothing wrong. I just never got around to looking at it.
I figured that with the drivers seat out if the couch had to be removed it would be that much easier.
This couch is a fold out bed.
I had my wife sit on it while I looked under it.
I could not believe what I found.
It also was an extremely easy fix.
We pulled the bed out part way which put the leading edge up in the air.
The bolts the were supposed to hold the front leg were missing.
So a couple of grade 8 bolts fixed the problem.
The leg now folds out when the bed is folded out, and tucks back in when the bed is folded back in. The couch frame sits on the leg when folded in and that is why the couch would drop on that end when someone sat on it.
