I think it's from these guys - https://www.recpro.com/rv-jack-knife-sofas/ But I bought it from Camping World. Don't see it on their website now but they do carry some other nice ones. It's the 72 inch model.

Thanks! Is there an intermediate stop for the sofa back, between vertical and flat (horizontal)? ------------- -- Jim Virginia City, Nevada 2016 R-pod 180 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X |

no, it doesn't recline like a lazy boy but it's still pretty comfortable it's not really vertical like the typical back cushion in camper dinettes, it has a little recline built in are you thinking of putting one in you r-pod 180? where?

I'm thinking of replacing the dinette, opposite the slideout. I usually sit sideways on the dinette bench anyway, but the vertical wall is not comfortable at all, and the window frame is a jabber! ------------- -- Jim Virginia City, Nevada 2016 R-pod 180 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X |

| okay I get it. Our jackknife sofa sits on the pedestal that is the slide floor and goes in and out with the slide. They make a leg kit for the sofa to put it on the floor and they have shorter versions for tighter spaces. |

Yeah, I was thinking of mounting it on the boxes that form the dinette benches. ------------- -- Jim Virginia City, Nevada 2016 R-pod 180 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X |

It's been awhile but I think it was Amazon. Removing the redundant sink in the shower created some extra space as well.
