swapping reclining loveseat into dinette or sofa slide

Thanks all for responding!

I can't seem to open your links, even though I am signed in...... Am I missing something here?

Bill, thanks for your concern about my hernia. I've already had two but I hear the 3rd time is a real charm!
Regarding the TM though, I plan to purchase a later model, preferably after 2009, so the strengthened axle and larger wheel would be part of the package.
My tow vehicle is a 2006 Dodge diesel with quad cab so a little extra weight would not be a problem.

I could add bracing on the slide, maybe some ply or joisting. I would need to eyeball it to come up with some sort of solution. A wise man once told me "everything is adjustable".........

I'm looking forward to the actual use of a TM but there seems to be a real dearth of 2720 SL's out here in sunny California. In fact, the whole West Coast, out to the Rockies, is lacking in prospects. There are not many units coming on the market built from 2009 up to 2013, which I chalk up to the recession in those years and people not buying.

If anyone knows of a clean, well kept 2720SL for sale, please let me know. Have Dodge will travel.........

Regards all,

Bob

Was it Padgett or Bruce Perens selling their 2720? That’s the one to buy...Is it still for sale?

You may have forgotten that the Forum offers a one-time 30-day free membership, during which you are carried as a Trial Member. When that expires, you can upgrade to Site Sponsor for $12 a year, or you can allow your membership to lapse, dropping you to Registered Guest level. If you choose not to upgrade, the Forum doesn't hassle you with spammy pleas for your money.

Registered Guests have access to only a small portion of the Forum, but not to any of the deeper technical content. Since you registered 5 years ago, and never upgraded, you are now carried as a Registered Guest. That's why you can't follow the links.

Incidentally, the $12 Sponsor fee goes to pay the expenses of the Forum. Unlike most other on-line forums, you will notice that this Forum allows no ads. So we all try to carry our own weight.

Bob, I have a 2013 2720SL that I'm going to put up for sale as soon as I can get it out of the garage and take some pics to post. I purchased it new and it's in very good shape. I just haven't had time to use it, so I've decided to sell it.

Hello All,

Shane86: I did contact Mr. Padgett back on April 3rd. This was my second correspondence with him. He initially had a question which I answered in response, but he never responded back again. I just assumed the TM was sold.

Bill: sorry but I joined 5 years ago and forgot about membership fees. I'll get on that.......

Bheisser: Thanks for the info. Looks like you are on the right track.

Thanks All,

Bob

Bob,

Thanks for the information. I am even more interested now. Hoping you wouldn’t mind answering a few more questions.

We usually spend little time in the TM when we are camping but went to the beach during a stretch of nice weather this winter. Having hours between darkness and bedtime emphasized that the couch is functional but not exceptionally comfortable. I don’t know how much better it was when new but ours has always felt soft to me and I noticed the foam is flaking so suspect age is a factor. I was considering having it reupholstered and maybe somehow upgraded to improve comfort. I am a little concerned that I would be trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, hence my interest in this repayment couch.

Did you replace it as an upgrade or because the original was needing replaced? From your comment about the comfort of the new couch I was uncertain if you and your wife think this is a significant upgrade from what you had.

Like you I am fairly handy and can figure out how to do most things. I am wondering exactly why you didn’t think the couch would fit with the original armrests reupholstered and tables left in. I have the TM in the garage and can’t look at it but eyeballing yours it looks to me like it should work. We have only used the tables a handful of times but they can be useful.

It looked like you reupholstered the front of the couch where the furnace vents. I think it looks good and was wondering why you bothered with the facica piece? People reviewing the couch complained that the couch with legs was not stable so I think I would prefer using the existing box like you did.

Thanks again for the help.
