Has Anyone Redesigned the Seating for a R-pod 179?

There were actually two Balkarp sofas when we got ours. I think this is actually the shorter one that we ended up with, except with blue upholstery:

We always put dinette table outside with tablecloth along with another 4' folding table. All our living is done outside under rDome. This frees up interior space when inside immensely.

It does have a wood frame. It just sit there without permanent attachment. We did add straps to keep it from moving around as much in transit. I have thought about adding rails to the bottom of the futon and top of the slide bottom to restrain its movement, but we don't really have an issue with it once we're parked.

Here are a couple of early photos of the dinette area after we put in the futon.

We also got rid of our table and bought a 20"x40" folding table from Walmart that can be easily tucked away between the bed and the slide when not in use. Do you have any pictures of the sofa?

Not handy. I'll try to remember to post one or two when I'm home.

There were two options when we bought ours: one that would span the entire width and one that was a little shorter. We initially picked the shorter one because it was more comfortable when made into a bed, lighter, and easier to get into our 179.

We realized one other benefit to the shorter length when our kittens started camping with us: a gap on each end gave them an easily accessible tunnel behind the sofa where they could hide or chase each other.
