Replacement JackKnife sleeper

I was thinking of replacing my Coleman 274 BH with a triple or Quad bunk slider trailer, but after cleaning my trailer I found that everything is just perfect, if it ain't broke.... So in order to get a few more years out of it with growing chidren, the one thing it lacks is a long enough bed for one of the. I have a son and daughter, and my mom comes with, so she gets the lower bunk, and the kids swap out the top bunk, but noticed last year that the jackknife has become a wee bit short for both so want to replace with one that has no arms on it. I have not found one that doesn't cost half a grand or more.
Assuming there is a standard width and depth, where can I find one reasonably priced without the arms?

If you were closer, I'd make you a good deal on the 90" wide, like new jackknife we just replaced in our 2015 Winnebago. We changed it out for a sofa with 2 recliners. With just the two of us we did not need another bed. If a grandkid comes camping with us, he wouldn't want to sleep anywhere except in the drop down front bed.

We replace the factory folding coach with a far better model from a trailer surplus outfit. We measured and hunted until we found what we needed.

We had to be sure it had room to unfold without jamming into the wall.

Good luck

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.

Checkout IKEA. We found a futon without arms that fit our son nicely. In a few years it might be a little short though. Another option is a cot. Folds away nicely during the day.

Less than $500? Craigslist, maybe. Take the arms off the current one and add foam.
