Removing couch

[Pete Masterson]

Depends on the sofa ... when I removed the two sofas from my coach, it took some disassembly to get one out -- but the other fit through the door OK. Because lifting over the seats is required, lighter is better (unless you can get stronger) -- so that's another argument in favor of disassembly. Mostly it's just an effort of getting things aligned correctly. Furniture movers do this sort of thing all the time and often by turning furniture just the right way to thread a part through a door.

When I purchased a new sofa (in preparation of selling my coach) the final assembly was done inside the coach, to reduce the weight to lift through the door (as I was moving it with the help of my wife).

Hi All, We've been gone all summer and just now we're starting to work on our coach that we purchased this past July. We're thinking that we would like to take one of the couch's out and put in the recliner and table. We have two, one is about 80" long and the other is about 68" long. We're thinking that the short one on the curb side is the best one to take out. We first thought that if we took the longer one out on the street side that this would be the best but we found the heater and other things under it that would probably require more work that taking out the curb side couch. Our question is, will the couch go out the door as is or do you have to take the end's off? We purchased 10 gallon's of synthetic oil and plan on doing the oil and filter change on the engine and generator. We've been in our fifth wheel trailer in wyoming and the coach has not been out of our garage since July, we're really anxious to get it going.......Thanks, Bob&Carol 99LX Illinois.......
