Jack Knife Sofa
we have a 16 DS 4313 with the jack knife sofa and a sofa bed. two issues. when the slides are closed there is barely enough room to get in the rear and when we are watching tv , we had to put the jack knife down at least half way or miss about 3 inches of the bottom of the tv and had to stand up to get remote to operate tv. decided to attack problem a week ago. unbolted jack knife from floor, removed and took 3 inches off the arms. took back of sofa off and took fabric and padding off and removed 3" from the steel frame and had it rewelded. put it all back together, slid couch back as far as possible so televator would still operate. we have an extra 5 to 6 inches to go to rear of coach and can just sit in the opposite sofa and watch tv with out any interference. also we have enough room when the slides are in to sit on the sofa and dangle our legs. still can't open jack knife and sofa bed at same time . life is better. heading to florida in 3 weeks.
