power sofa mod?

[scragle]

Hi, has anyone tried installing a power sofa in an older model RT? I have a 2002 Roadtrek 190P on a Chev chassis, and it has the classic bed arrangement. We're toying with the idea of installing a power sofa. How much might this cost at a dealer, and is it possible to install DIY? How much does it reduce the back storage area? If you've had both, which bed do you prefer?
Thanks!

I'm not going to be of much help in answering your question, but we recently purchased a RT 210 popular with the electric sofa and have to tell you that i don't know what i would do without it since i have a bad back. it allows me to tilt it similar to a recliner when we lounge and watch tv instead of having to line up alot of pillows, etc. there must be some camper/mh suppliers out there that can fix you up. if you find one, be careful of the placement so that when the back tilts down into the bed that it doesn't rub the rear corners of the wall by the doors. mine rubs a little from the factory but i don't think it is going to cause a problem. i know space is at a premium. GLW the hunt. Bob
