Destination Tri-Fold Sofa sleeper by Lippert
Hi All, Does anyone have any experience with this sofa? We are needing to replace our sofa bed and I like the looks of this one. However, the Camping World near us does not have one on the floor to...

**UPDATE**
The Camping World near us finally got one in and we got to play with it. It is pretty comfy, and I had no trouble opening opening/closing it, and making it into a bed. It was too firm to lay on at the head of the bed, but the other end was very comfortable, so that would become the head side.
There are downsides.
1. Construction was plywood instead of metal, so it was very, very, heavy, and because of so much wood, the arms were much wider, so a much smaller seating space. It felt really cramped for a 68" sofa.
2. The storage compartment under the cushion was only 7" - 8" clearance, and not as wide as our current sofa, due to the use/abuse of lots of wood, which meant my storage area got a whole lot smaller. My little vacuum would not even fit. Also, we need at least 11" clearance for 2 6V batteries.
Our MH is not that big, and storage is at a premium, so unfortunately this sofa will not work for us. Now I am back to probably having the original sofa recovered. (Thanks a lot Manufacturer, for using such an inferior product:( )
However, if you have a larger MH, or do not need much in the way of under-sofa storage, you could do a lot worse than the Tri-Fold.
