How to Remove Sofa

[waiter]

I needed to remove the Sofa so I could paint behind it. I'm glad I did, because I found a couple other problems.

This applies to an 88 Dolphin, but your may be similar.

Look at the photos.

On the left side, get a flashlight and look down between the cushion and the frame, you should see a couple bolts that go into the cabinet. Remove the drawers from the cabinet and look up inside, and you'll see the nuts for these bolts.

Remove the nuts washers, then slide the bolts out (There were four on the left side, I only put two back)

There were no bolts on the right side, the couch frame just rests on the wood structure, nothing holding it down on the right.

Once the sofa is out, you can see the electrical, wheel well, water tank, etc.

While cleaning and vacuuming, I noticed the vent line for the water tank was broke, so I repaired it while I had the sofa out

Also, While the sofa was out, I added a 120 Vac plug at the forward lower section of the sofa. Now I can plug stuff in from the drivers seat.

Thanks for the pics! I had to take my hide a bed apart today so the wife could reupholster it. You should have seen the jerry-rigged mess the previous owner cobbled up for the framework lol. Anyways, I just rebuild everything with 2x2's and I screwed both ends of the bed frame down to the wood frame so the one corner wouldn't raise up when the bed was unfolded. It's alot sturdier now. Mine is an '86 Dolphin.

Take a look at the structure under the table seats, the plywood should just lift off. I added a couple 2x4s to support the seat structure.
