Replacement for Gaucho: Any and ALL ideas appreciated

Hello All.

We have a rebuilt Gaucho in our 31', 1976 Soverign that makes into a mountain rather than a bed and needs replacing. We also have a HUGE FIELD-LABRADOR RETRIEVER and need room. Please bare with me. I have a number of ideas to bounce off of you.

1. Would something from a regular used furniture store or the GoodWill work, fit through the door and give us room on the ends for small cabinets for art supplies? If anyone out there has done this, I would appreciate finding out if you found anything you could get through the door, and whether you are happy with it now that it is in.

2. I am sort-of handy with tools and could do a simple bench with cushions. I thought about building a bench with a hinged back that is also hinged in the middle and folds up to the wall. Is that hard to build?

3. Has anyone tried a single wide futon bed in the space since they're already hinged? .

4. Finally, we are hobby people on the road and (remember the dog ) could use a LOT more space. I would love to hear from those of you who have replaced with chairs. How has it worked out? I thought we could provide sleeping with an inflatable mattress.

Thanks to any and all who take the time to write with your ideas. I am hauling that couch out no matter what, come spring and I expect the living area to look absolutely palatial in the true Wally style.
