Front Sofa/Lounge needed for 73 Safari

[mel5150]

I recently purchased a very nice 23' Safari Double and for some reason the prior owners removed the front couch/sofa and got rid of it. Of course they also removed the range/oven and put in a counter with no stove top, but that's more easily solved. Does anyone know of a source for replacement sofas for the airstreams or another idea that may work? Thanks, Mel.

Mel,

The best thing the PO did was to get rid of that uncomfortable ugly, unpractical, Thing.
As soon as I find the way to have a U shaped sofa in that area I will remove that "thing" (will keep it stored for any future owner who would like to stay 100 % original)
My advice is for you to stay away from a replacement sofa that would oblige you to sit and lounge with your back facing the scenery Why did Airstream put those large wrap arround picture windows & then install a sofa facing inwards into the darkness
I even thought 2 recliners might be cool.

You may be able to find an original if you keep looking. SOmeone is gutting a trailer somewhere.

If all you want is one that will work, be comfortable and you can get in diffrent fabric choices try www.braddandhall.com .

They sell all of the flexsteel stuff and you can order it with many diffrent fabrics.

If that is to rich for your blood, go look at the current models and see if you can "steal" some ideas. All it takes is some basic tools, time and a bit of money.

There is a current thread about replacing the couch with a futon. Seems to work well for some folks. This doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Easy to change the cover to fit the decor du jour.

Thanks everybody for your help. I will research the futon and other suggestions. Mel
