Jackknife Sofa
Overview
A jackknife sofa is the slim fold-down couch found in RVs and travel trailers; the back drops flat to turn it into a bed. The 3D model shows a slim base, a seat cushion and a two-channel back on hinge brackets.
Sizing & placement
It is 68 inches wide, 30 inches deep and 36 inches tall (about 5.7 ft × 2.5 ft × 3 ft), drawn in its sofa position. It stands on the floor, usually against a side wall or slide-out.
Where it works
Motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth-wheels, campervans and small living rooms where a sofa has to double as a bed. Find it under RV & Boat on the RV & Boat tab, or search "jackknife sofa" or "rv sofa".
