RB Curb-side Sofa Leaner-Backer
Yahoo Message Number: 106133
Some time ago, I posted some information about my home-made "leaner-backer" for Arby the RB's curb-side sofa. The pics with dimensional info were added to my Flickr account which some folks found inconvenient to access. Tonight, I added those pics to Arby's album and will repeat the text info here as follows:
 "The 2007 Lazy Daze Rear Bath factory curbside sofa end-cap is cut too low to provide any back support for someone wanting to watch TV or read while reclining on the couch. I've whipped up a single piece of plywood solves that problem without making any cuts in the factory construction and requires no fasteners when in use. Because I like things that serve multiple purposes, the board will also create a mounting point for a cup-holder (upper right corner as seen above) and is stable/sturdy enough to grab when entering or exiting the coach.
 In use, the gizmo slips in between the end of the sofa cushions and the existing end-cap. The bottom edge rests on the surface of the sofa-bed "pull-out" section. The cut-away on the left side allows the board to clear the sofa-back latch pin and go all the way to the coach wall at the top for additional support. Removal of the board is not necessary for bed extension or return."

George,

Thanks so much for posting your pictures and directions for your leaner-backer.  I'll be making one shortly for our RB.

Great George, but a link to it did show in your post.
We have 20 feet of sewer hose stored in our sewer hose compartment.
Don't RB's have such a compartment??

Got home yesterday. Drop by and get some fine New Mexico apples.

Cheers, Don

Perhaps Arby the RB is sewer hose-storage challenged compared to others but the factory tube is only about 5 feet long and won't come close to storing 20 feet.

It should fit.  A 20' sewer hose is only 20' when stretched out and about 4' compressed.  Am I missing something here?

All I can tell you for certain is that the Blueline hoses I use are ten feet expanded and a bit less than five feet fully compressed. Only one will fit in the factory tube on my rig. If both sections had fit in the factory tube, I would be using the new storage for my black-water rinse hose sections after shortening them to appx eight feet. I usually carry three of those.

I am replacing the MagnaTek 30 Amp Converter in which I recently Installed a new Cooling Fan and am offering it to anyone who could use it for FREE! It you weren't careful, it would overcharge the house batteries to a point of boil over!
 I'm replacing it with a Progressive 4645 Series Replacement RV Converter/Charger with built in Charge Wizard purchased from BestConverter. Com for $199.00.
 The MagnaTek unit still works fine. If anyone has an older LD unit would like this for parts or ??, it's available for FREE.

Just pay for shipping it to you and it is yours.
 As I said the fan was replaced in the MagnaTek Converter a few months back with a brand new new one.

FREE... u pay just for shipping it to you...

Thanks,

Ed Klaus
