Does anyone have a resource on sofas for RV's. We just aquired a 1978 34' Silver Streak Luxury Liner and are in the process of restoring it. Previous owner used it and abused it. Let's just say it need some TLC and fixing. We are excited about the potential this trailer has. The outside is 95% perfect, the inside is basically sound, but dirty. I'm taking before and after pics that I will hopefully get to share.
Now, about the sofa... the space between the built in end tables is 55-1/2", but we'd like to put a sofa with a queen size mattress that folds out lengthwise into the room. Depending on the width of the couch, I'll cut down and rebuild the end table to make room. The challenge with most sofa beds is that they can't be dismantled enough to get them through the door. Any suggestions or resources would be most appreciated.

You may want to check out the Camping World Website. They sell Flexsteel sofas and chairs that are scaled down for RV's. I too have a 33.5 foot SS Luxury Liner and had to purchase a sofa for it when I bought it back in '03. I do not have the built in tables however because my trailer originally had what was called the Longboy sleeper. Regular household furniture is typically too big for these trailers.
