Jack Knife Sofa Swap Out

Our jack knife sofa in our new TT is so uncomfortable for sitting in the evening that we need a different solution. If we'd have know how uncomfortable this couch was for sitting, we'd never have bought the trailer. We don't use it for sleeping so it can go but it sits on a box that houses the slide mechanics. We can't just pull it out and slide in a new love seat. We'd need to get chairs with no legs or something like that. Has anyone seen a DIY project like that or have any suggestions? I've searched the internet and the forums and haven't found anything yet. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!

  • It may be almost impossible to find a no leg sofa replacement. I would suggest getting the cushions rebuilt with a higher quality foam.
  • I have read other posts about jack knife sofas being uncomfortable to sit on. Perhaps if you identify the make and model of your trailer, you will receive detailed suggestions.
