Does stuff ever stop breaking?? This time it's the sofa
Nope and I think it is because they plan on us only using them on an occasional weekend. They just are not built for consistent daily use. Especially when we snowbird or full time in them.
When my sofa/bed wouldn't go back up straight in the closed position I called RV Mobile repair.
He shows up with a pick up truck instead of his mobile repair van, full of 2x4's etc.?? I said all I want you to do is just repair it not rebuild my entire RV!
His answer: I see thousands of these RV couches and when I open up yours you will see why I have the 2x4's and what I am going to do.
Within minutes He stripped down my entire couch frame and all and took it all outside.
When he opened it all up I gotta admit I was shocked all what was holding it together and how it was attached to the MH, or actually not holding it together. I have never seen such shoddy workman ship, how it was attached to the MH, and with what, and the use of the thinnest cheap particle wood construction I've every seen.
He made a complete new frame using the 2x4's and real braces and using the correct screws for the couch. Brought it back in and reinstalled the whole couch and attached it properly.
That couch now works better than it ever did when it was brand new! The back is now in an upright position that is inches straighter and sits higher than when new. And I can open and close it with one finger.
