I went to the Santa Barbara RV show and talked to Steven for a few minutes. Among other things, he showed me the new couch and I really like it. My questions are:
1) Will that fit in my 2000 hawk and can you ship me one, complete with new cushions? I realize I would need to build a cover for the underneath storage.
2) Even if yes to the first, how much would it cost to have mine retrofitted by FWC?
3) Does that come with a 2 cushion option for the horizontal portion? It might be more convenient to only have to move one, small cushion to gain access to the storage. I can see that it may be uncomfortable to have a seam in the middle of the bed, but I rarely use mine as a bed. I'm not sure which way I would go if there is a choice.

We have been getting a lot of the FWC owners inquiring about retrofitting their older couches lately. Our new couch seems like a really nice design, strong, simple -- we are happy with the way it turned out.

Just call our service dept. toll free if you would like a price quote

Ask for Service or Chicali ... 800-242-1442

You can e-mail him at chicali@fourwh.com

But, phone is the best way to get a hold of him (we keep him running out there)

The only disadvantage might be that it is a few inches narrower than the old couch models. I know my old Grandby couch was bigger and would sleep 2 adults. The new couch is just a little narrower. You can ask Chicali about sizing. They might have some flexibility on width ?

I've got some pictures at home and if I get a chance tonight will post a few pictures.

Two metal end frames with the backrest connecting the two ends.

Hopefully, I'll have a chance to call tomorrow.

i am interested in this option as well...stan what about an old (93') ranger II? i have seen these new couches in person and they are sweet! thanks for the pics...didn't get the idea that it was 100% do-able form your last reply...what happens since they are a little shorter...is there a big gap in the end of the storage and the couch? and what about the price? i would give you guys a call but all out of cell minutes:( ! thanks again for letting us know!

I think its nice for sure, but considering how often I use that bed I couldn't see upgrading. Besides, I hate stepping over someone in the middle of the night when I need to pee:)
