removing the factory installed hide-a-bed sofa

[DenTilly]

We want to remove the factory installed hide-a-bed sofa. To be replaced with a small table and standup dining chairs. As we are just us 2 on the road we do not need the sofa...and...to stop while traveling, having a table and chairs ready to use are way more convenient. Have pocked around to see how to proceed but not clear how to dis-assemble the sofa to remove it and fit out the door in pieces.

This thread has many posts about removing the sofa. Most replace with dual recliners.

What mods have you done or are thinking of doing on your Axis/Vegas?

The jackknife sofa's are easily removed by disassembling them. Start by removing the kick panel at the front bottom and carry it out. then do a partial jackknife and locate the bolts holding the seat and back to the frame and remove them and carry out those two pieces. You should then see the screws holding the sides to the frame. Remove them and unbolt the frame from the floor and take all that stuff out. You are now ready to install your replacement furniture.
