I have a sleeper sofa that opens up to a bed. As you can see in the picture, there is a heat duct that goes through the middle portion of the sofa. We need to get a new sofa as the material is falling off but I can not find any on the internet that has this style setup. Was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. I could take it apart and have it reupolstered but not sure if I could get it back together again even with taking pictures of each state.

I thought about that but not real sure if that is something that I could do. The camper is also 4seasons ready so it is sealed underneath.
 
you would have to take the under belly down .i took mine down and insulated it it is a 2 person job but it wasnt that bad i guess depends on how bad you want a new couch lol have a great day
 
Been shopping for a new couch for the last week or so.

There are lots of videos on this subject.

The duct running to the vent is likely plastic. No big deal to remove the vent from the sofa and install it on an other sofa.

We tossed our sleeper sofa for a recliner. We choose the optional drawer in the center. You would not want that.

Lambright makes the better stuff. but,. costs more.

Our camping world has a big sofa showroom. Huber Heights Ohio.
 
Thanks Tom! I ended up taking apart the sleeper sofa, bought new (cloth) material and am having it re-upholstered as we speak.
