UPDATE - IT FIT!! Ordered Reclining Sofa for Eagle Cap 1160

This topic has bounced around a couple times, I finally found one that SHOULD fit... Ordered it today, and I have to say, I think it was a great buy. Brand new, delivered out of the RV mecca of the world, Elkhart, IN, shipping included for $570.

I called them and I have to say, their service is exceptional. Their Ebay listing shows MFG's specs only, and it was so close, I called asking if I could get a real tape measure double-check, and they had no problem what so ever helping out. Come to find out, the posted measurements are 1 1/2" larger than actual...BINGO! It should fit!

Here's what I have...



Here's a link to the seller - they list "More than 10 Available". I called them, and paying them directly cut the price from $600 to $570.
Recreation Pro, Elkhart IN

Here's a couple pics of what will HOPEFULLY fit in it's place...






The tape measure says it should recline fully no problem on the left, the right, leg only will pop up, it won't recline into a full-flat lay out. With the slides in, I'll have to push it flat against the wall, for camping, then pull it out a couple inches.

One way or another I'm gonna make it fit.... Wish me luck!

It's still hard to believe all of that camper can fit in a truck bed.
Very nice.

Eagle Cap is made in Yakima Washington. Clearly, you've forgotten what's legal in Washington and Colorado these days.

Just sayin...

It arrived today in FedEx, two boxes. It ships in 4 pieces-right upper and lower, left upper and lower. That made it an ABSOLUTE BREEZE to get it in the door.

Honestly, taking out the old one was far more troublesome than putting in the new one, but really, that's not saying much. I did this whole thin in less than 6 beers...

First - remove the lower storage drawer, then the drawer rails. Had to do that so it made it easier to then get to the screws holding on the sides. Once the sides were off, then lay it flat, lift it upright, and slide it out the door.

Before:


After:


Here's some various pics of the process---

Unboxing, here's what you get


Removing the old sofa, take out the drawer first



Then the sides


Lay it flat, then pick it up, and out she comes!




Bottom half first


And Whola!


Plenty of room on the sides


it does, however, touch up against the slideout trim, so I gotta figure out something to protect it from rubbing going down the road.


It doesn't show well in the pic, but the left side does clear the cabinet by a good 1/4"
