Was it difficult to remove old sofa and replace?

Not at all.  4 screws held it down. I pulled those and slid it out for working space then started pulling bolts and took it out in pieces.  It was mainly a 1 person job.  I also did the same putting this one in.  Took it apart outside the coach and brought in the pieces and put back together.   Pics of bolt holes help.

68" wide.  I included the link above.

As many here, I also looking to replace my sofa bed.

With will be no problem, the lenght is because I don't have a slide out on the passenger side and I have a small leather seat.

Can you post more pics showing both sides?

Good job

Thank you.  Would you like pics of both sides of the coach or of the couch?  Can you post a pic of what space you are working with?  Maybe we can help w ideas.

Is there anyway to get seatbelts up from behind and around the mattress?  I need to add a couple of spots for my daughter and granddaughter to sit.  I've got a sleeper sofa in there now but I can see no way of getting at the seatbelts anchored to the floor once the mattress is stored.

Did you look under the couch on the floor near the wall for seat belts? Our coach has factory installed seat belts that are up under the couch. They must be pulled up thru the area between the mattress and the back cushion of the couch for use. If you open the bed and lift the mattress you should be able to see the floor and if there are any seat belts there.

[Steven P]

@Moonwink this is how mine is too. See pic w no couch. 

[bklaes]

Steven, I have the same coach.  I like your window valences.  No vertical pieces and no strings attached.   What replaced the day/night shades?

[Moonwink]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  I know where the seatbelts are.  I put them there after taking out dinette.  I bought the couch at CoLaws in Carthage, Missouri but I'm thinking it came out of a trailer instead of a motorhome.  The bed frame tucks up under the back of the sofa when it stored.  The seatbelts would need to be very long and with all the things they'd need to go around to come out on the cushions, I don't think they'd be very safe in the event of an accident.  

I sent an email to Bradd and Hall and got this reply about their sleeper sofa from Stephanie Casey:

Thank you for your message!  If the seatbelts are mounted to the RV floor then you can pull them up through this sofa.

Please let me know if I can help in any way 😊

I have the same laid out as our 2000 Windsor, can you send a picture with the sofa bed open? I want to know how it looks and how far it reachs.

Please do it at your convenience

I will have to get some pics. I don't have any of them laid out.

They are both jack knife versions.

The one behind the drivers seat can be down with the slide in and leave plenty of room to walk through.

Both folded down I believe there is still 13" between to walk through with the slide in.

In fact I was looking at it over the weekend for possibly adding a shallow cabinet and televator behind the one on the passenger side to get the TV out from over my head when driving..

 

[Pampero]

I will like to install a sofa bed, but the clearance to the passenger sofa is about 70" from the wall.

I don't know what you mean, but you may look here. Pristine work: https://wooddesignrv.com/tv-remodels/

I removed the vertical pieces to the valances.  They just seemed to block out light and take up room.  It's a pretty easy job to remove them.  The PO replaced the blinds with these except for 2 windows.  I found his receipt and measured and ordered 2 for those.  It took about 3? months to get 2 blinds though.   Here's the link of mine:  https://www.selectblinds.com/rollershades/reminiscent-vinyl-roller-shades.html

And pics of the bedroom before and after.

Your couch looks great, Steven, I need to replace mine too and only have 68" of space, I wanted the air or foam mattress and was seeing prices around $2600 for Flexsteel, and didn't know what to do since they dropped out of the RV market.  Are you happy with the Lambright now that you've had it apart and re-assembled and are using it?

So far yes, just installed it Sun and haven't really used it yet.  But there is one thing.  I'm 5'7" and my wife is 5'.  We are gonna want ottomans.  This couch sits higher than the last one.  But that's minor to me.

Pics of what we have w slides in.  I didn't have time to open it all up, but there will be about 12 to 16" of space be the mattress and the J lounge when the mattress is open w both slides open.
