Convert main cabin to sleeping berth?

[Ross]

I recently purchased an '89 H23. I've seen a few comments in owner reviews that suggest that the main cabin can be converted to a large sleeping berth through the use of the floorboards and/or the backs of seats. I do not see any references to this in the manual I rec'd from the owner and am not sure how this is accomplished. I'd appreciate it if anyone could provide me with the details of how to do this.Thanks.

Converting main cabin to sleeping berth.

Keeping the three floor boards oriented the same as they are on the floor, lift them vertically and slide into the cooresponding slots formed on the bench seat fronts. Then place the seat backs (cushion up) horizontally on the upright floor boards.Note that the gap between the aft floor board supports is rather large. Be careful how you distribute weight in that area of the seat backs. i.e. standing or kneeling directly on that area of the seat backs will likely crack the internal plywood.

To help distribute the weight...

...My wife and I would inflate a queen-sized air mattress in the cabin after we set up the berths. Made the berth more comfortable, too.--Jon BastienH25 'Adagio'
