JD,

I have been looking at the same RecPro trifold sofa. Can you expand on your install?

• The seat back looks continuous, were you able to come up with a solution to install the belts?
• My 2001 Diplomat, like yours, has the raised slide floor. How did you accommodate the front legs that overhang the onto the main floor? How did you come up with a solution for the fold out portion of the bed? In short, how did you accommodate all the varying heights?
• You screwed into to the plywood making a "baseplate" Do you feel this is as secure as the old couch? My current couch has the steel frame with some 1/4" self tappers into the slide floor. "Secure" is a relative term, but it is at least not just sitting there. 
• How is the material holding up? Especially with dogs - same problem!

Pictures would be great?

I went vented, non-locking. 

If its a plastic style like my '01 Dip... Gates 31615D should be your non-locking part number. Amazon, or Auto Parts Stores.

Should be able to cross that number into a locking equivalent.

I've printed a few tid bits to aid with the restoration of some failing parts across the coach. The latest is a replacement entry switch bezel.
