    If it counts...we tossed the one from our 315RLTS. I never could get it to lay flat (as a bed) no matter what I did and it wasn't the most comfortable sofa...so it went. Local charity thrift store was very happy to get it.

        I did not remove it, but did adjust the bolts on the curbside rear about two inches. It was held in by two bolts on each end. The bolts are easy -- getting it through the door will be interesting.

          We removed the sofa bed from the mid-bunk room of ours, in order to build a permanent bed platform below the upper bunk. To remove it, we had to take it apart, including taking off both ends. Now we are considering removing the big sofa bed in the rear living area to make more room, like a permanent place for DW’s sewing machine, table & chair, etc.

          No, we don’t pull the Solitude, it’s permanently parked on our campsite in SW Fla.

            Disassembled as much as possible and removed it piece-by-piece. The back, ends, and front were one piece, but with the internals removed is was light enough to stand up on end, then after sliding across the floor to the door I tilted it into the bathroom and the bottom was pulled out the door.

                Glamping4two On our 303, the screws that hold the sofa to the floor are actually through the brace on the back at the bottom. If you pull the bed up and run your fingers under it you will find the screws. Mine were run through the thin fabric and left little cuts that hid themselves. Really hard to see.

                  It's not hard--the inner "bed" section comes apart and the sofa itself is secured to the side cabinets with "L" brackets. It's self-evident once you dig in. Nothing cosmic to it. Since I wasn't too concerned about salvaging anything I just tore into it. It was so easy I did manage to get it back together for the thrift store.
