Dinette Bed Futon Mod - Event Date: 30 Mar 2018

What model R-Pod? If you are asking about a modification for an R-Pod 179, then look in my mods (link in signature, last two pages), you will see what I did instead of a futon.

The 179 is easy to do the futon mod on: just buy a futon and don't attach the legs. You can get fancy with attaching rails if you want, but it's not necessary. We added straps to keep the futon from sliding off the bench while traveling, but that's the only accommodation we've made for it.

We just put the futon frame on top of the bench the cushions were on. Very easy mod.

Oh, we did add a couple of 2x4s on the front edge of the frame to take up the space between the futon and the ottomans (without cushions).

No. We can either pull the back toward us or pull up on the seat to trigger the next position. We usually do the latter because it's easier.
