New here so not sure where to post this. We just purchased a 2006 Zinger 29RK 5th wheel. We've discovered that the sofa bed is VERY uncomfortable. We want to take some family with us when we camp so really need a bit of comfort. Having trouble trying to figure out what to do with it. Can't seem to find a new sofa to fit the space which is 66" long and 38" deep. Or we go with a new foam mattress and plywood under it for support. The sofa itself is in good shape and matches the décor so I hesitate to change it but it is hard to find a foam mattress that is 48" x 66". Has anyone dealt with this problem and /or can you suggest a solution.I was actually looking at 2 flip flop chairs side by side which would fit exactly into the space and would fold out to 70" which would give us 4 more inches in length. However these are in the US and would cost a fortune to have them shipped to Ontario.

Have a good piece of foam cut to fithttp://www.mattressinsider.com/custom-mattress.html

I have similar concern. I went to the site and my question is what do you do (store it) with the mattress when the bed is not in use?

You could use something as simple and inexpensive as an egg crate foam, then make up the bed or as fancy as a Memory Foam type. Is the sofa you have a jack-knife type or a fold out? Our jack-knife in our HTT was about the least comfy you could find and thankful we only used it turtling once or twice. Our new TT has a sofa bed with an air mattress that is very comfortable. Don't know if you normally use a mattress pad under the sheets, but that will also help to soften some of the bumpy spots. Unless you always have guests or for longer trips, I would not get too pricey with this...remember, it's camping, not a 5-Star hotel.

go here we just got the air dream and love it. may start sleeping on it instead of the queen bed.

We have a Coleman air mattress that we will use. Inflates fast, deflates fast and is easily stored.

We have jackknife sofa (I think). I like the idea about the air mattress and then deflate it for storage. Don't know why I didn't think of that...
