JACKNIFE SOFA?

HOW DO I GET THE SOFA TO OPEN INTO A BED?
I am a first time RVer with a 1999 37' Winnebago Adventurer.
I have a pull out with a sofa but I cannot find anywhere how to get it to open.
I took off the arm rests and tried to pull up on the KICK PANNEL IN FRONT, it only comes up about 2" please email me Charlie_B weldor6284 @gmail.com
  • Thanks for the posts, figured out the sofa.
    Dont know what to do about the emails?

  • There should be a short metal lever under the bottom cushion in the middle, barely sticks out the front edge. Push the lever towards the front of the coach and lift.

    He means thru your profile. You change it to allow email to be sent to you by members - only by members,
  • I found not the bottom but between the front and lower edge of cushion is where you have to lift.
    WHERE YOUR KNEES BEND
    I had pulled on the front panel and it comes off STRIGHT UP so I had bent the mounting brackets
    YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE THE ARM RESTS OFF TO CHANGE FROM SOFA TO BED

    Sorry for any confusion this is my first forum post

    I need a SONY 4 pin(MALE) video cable end/cable to fix my back up/reverse camera. Anyone have a source all I need is the plug and 3'of the cord
    HATE TO BUY A CABLE 66'LONG FOR $90+ JUST FOR ONE LITTLE PLUG

  • Our sofa also opens by pulling upward and outward on underside, front frame. Closing you have to pull upward, pushin in on the front, underside frame while at the same time pulling up on the rear frame.
  • all of my jack knives opened by lifting up on the front which sort of shifted things to the front and it laid down semi-flat. that is how I assume yours in the winnie does. others are sort of roll over and the back rotates over the front and lays down in front of the seat cushions.
    your email address did not work. any reason you don't like PMs or responses here?
