RV Renovation, Remodeling a Class C Motorhome; Removing the Jack-Knife Sofa!

If I were younger and not nearing 50, I think my back would have been fine. Since I am no longer in my 20s and actually care about how I sleep, I HAD to replace the jack-knife sofa. It was fine for a week, then it wasn't. I ended up sleeping on the converted dinette.
Spending 3 weeks in traveling across the country along Route 66; I figured out what changes I truly wanted to make. The first thing that needed to be resolved was how to create a sleeping space that was comfortable and served multiple purposes.

I love how you created the under the bed drawer! And the chalkboard pain on the fridge is genius!

[@seekingthejoy]

Thanks! I think I’m going to paint the base of the bed black. The grey I had was too blueish in tint.

[@HerSoulVacation]

This is what I have been wanting to do but I hesitate! Do you still love it? Do you like it better than the sofa? Any tips that you thought about afterwards? Thank you!

[@seekingthejoy]

Yes. I love it. I’ve changed some of the decor, also bought the pad for under the mattress so it can breathe - I don’t have slides and it really makes it feel much bigger. The only issue - I have a cat the likes to sleep above my head and a dog that likes to short sheet me 😆

I love the box storage with wheels. Does it move around while traveling?

[@seekingthejoy]

No, I have two bolts on the front that keep it in place. I have been thinking of adding tracks though for the wheels because it can be hard to get it to come out or back in properly.

[@SK-hz8qu]

@@seekingthejoy I would recommend the tracks. You could add a lid to the top and make an “ottoman” for extra comfort?

[@carmenlong7947]

So, what do ya do if you have any plumbing issue on that water tank?

[@seekingthejoy]

In regards to the bed, I built? If needed it can be unscrewed/removed. It was actually easier to get to vs the jackknife that was originally there. (I've since sold that RV and purchased a travel trailer.)

[@carmenlong7947]

@@seekingthejoy thanks for your answer 😊

[@newk724]

Your family members don’t seem to like the camera...... 😂

[@seekingthejoy]

newk724 lol..you would think they would be used to it after all these years!

[@MillCreekKennel]

What is your mattress made from?

[@seekingthejoy]

It’s actually foam (usually used in outdoor furniture) Found a company in Michigan that makes what ever size you need. Ended up being perfect! (And not expensive)

[@whiskeystraw]

@@seekingthejoy I have very same issue in my class B+. Please share with me who made your bed. Is it comfortable, how thick, memory foam?

[@seekingthejoy]

My brother and I removed the couch and built the box for the bed. The mattress is 6 inches thick, purchased from Foam Factory in MI. They were wonderful. Even called to confirm what I was using it for. If you can would recommend using slats for base. It’s something I would change to if I did it over. Very comfortable though!
