Happijac rear couch/bed conversion

[777]

So, I'm sick and tired of the couches that don't really double as beds. My kids hate sleeping on them and I'm tired of hitting my head on the low bench bars.

Called Happijac and they were so helpful, gave me a parts list and explained how to make the change.

Has anyone done this themselves?

I have a 2010 6.0 that came with the shallow l-shaped benches and table that are supposed to make a bed.  I converted the interior to the current 6.0 design with the couch.  I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about or not.

I ordered the couch and base from Livin' Lite.  (They put it in a camper that was being shipped to a dealer about 2 hours from my home so I could pick it up there.)  All of the original seat bases are just screwed into the camper floor and walls.  The most challenging part is relocating the electrical control box.  Since the couch base is deeper front to back than the original seat bases, this conversion moved the electrical box forward about 6 inches.  I don't recall if I had to replace wiring or if there was enough slack available.  I did take the opportunity to rewire the 12 volt electrical system because I didn't like how the factory did it.

I also ordered the base with a door in the left side that isn't normally there.  I thought it would be convenient access to get to the storage under the couch, but it really isn't that helpful.

I'll be glad to anwer questions and send pictures.  I'm not sure how to add pictures here.

Steve.
