Bed to Couch!

There are some who have expressed curiousity about our bed to couch, couch to bed set up. Every day I/we have to convert it both ways. Here are some pictures showing the conversion one way.

Making a couch to a bed (and back) involves several steps. These pics were taken last year. The blanket is now changed and there are some minor differences in the appearance of the RV, but it is basically the same as now. This is the procedure for going from bed to couch. Just reverse it for couch to bed.


This is the foot of our "bed". You can see the back of the driver's seat.

This is the head. Behind the head is the kitchen.





On Dave's side there is a sleeping bag with foam inside under the sheet and blanket. First, I fold up the sheet and blanket on my side over his side.

Then, pulling it all toward me, I fold what hangs over between Dave and the wall towards me and over the rest.


It is basically folding the bedding into thirds over the sleeping bag.




The bedding gets rolled up and the two straps wrapped around it. Wrestling to get the straps on gives me extra exercise! *smile*

Then I get to wrestle with it again to get it into the driver's seat between the steering wheel and the back of the seat!



The pillows are then tucked into place.






The bed is ready to be made into a couch.


It folds up into a "V", which then slides into the upright position.





This last picture was taken about two years ago when we were still staying at an RV park.
