On my trade wind double I replaced the toreture rack thart passed for a bed 
with a cusrom built futon it is built in as part of the trailer. I started 
with a pare of sofe bed hinges from rocker hardware and worked from there. It 
was quite a engeneering project it is nor as wide as a full sized bed it is 
about 44in opened. while I was at it I replaced the front sofa with a custom 
built futon it opens to 39 in I used the new "cpmfort Foam' In 4 in 
thickness. works well I cannot feel the plywood base under neath. The project 
was pricyI did the work myself bought the foam and fabric wholesale and paid 
$200. labor for the upholstry. thtal project cost about $800. Spentb 5 months 
last year in the trailer and the project was worth eavery penny.
