Removed couch from Snoozy

[carlkeigley]

My third step was to lay some reflectix on the wall behind the couch and
also behind the water tank. I used some 3M double sided tape and used
my office stapler to anchor it.



My fourth step was to put in some remaining blue foam tile behind the
water tank on the wall over the reflectix. Used 3M double sided tape to
attach tile to the wall.

I thought I would finish the right side with blue tile with a red stripe
of red tile in the center. When I went back in the house to get the
rest of the tiles (no more blue).........lol. So I finished the wall out
with the red foam tile. If I had thought it out a bit more I could have
done what I was thinking. But it's been a long day and my thinker
isn't as good when I'm tired..........lol. And since it's out of sight, I
doubt I will redo it.........lol.



I then reinstalled the platform.



OUCH!........I just remembered I forgot to put the trim pieces back on
the ends of the platform. Maybe I can insert them without removing the
couch again.........I did remember to replace the storage space door.

Here the couch is back in place stretched out into the bed.
This is the position it has to be in to get to the screws when
taking it out and also when putting it back in. The back screws
go in while in the flat position. The front screws have to have
the seat portion lifted up.



Couch back in place. I left my tools and accessories setting out.
Just too tired which made me lazy...........Too much for an old fat man.



Now I think my next project will be underneath the sink area.
One day at a time and one project at a time.

Thanks for viewing.

If it's very cool out and you are running your heater then the dehumidifier is a good idea. Can't remember the brand but we bought it at Walmart. Tried the real small one off Amazon and it didn't work. This was a medium size one. It took up some floor space but worked like a charm! We were afraid of a moldy mattress too but it never happened.

[Loren and Debbie]

FYI the dehumidifier is about the size of a tall trash can. They didn't have anything any smaller when we bought it and we desperately needed it.

[carlkeigley]

I have a dehumidifier like you describe.
We bought it a couple years ago for the house.
We use it now mainly in our storm cellar.
We periodically have to wipe the moisture off the steel walls,
and we run the dehumidifier when we think we may have to
spend time in it.................LOL

I will probably try Jim's suggestion put that mat under the mattress.
I've always like do-dad's and such.

Just FYI I use those foam pads all over the place myself and they have some at Sears of all places with a thin indoor/outdoor carpet on top that I use on my floor all year long.
They are all Gray too so ,well,you know!

I have had mine down for several years and they look new still and are easily shaken out and stuck back in when they get too nasty to vacuum.

In the winter I have camped to under 10 degrees and they floor is still OK to walk on in bare feet on the tiles.

I bought spares even to make sure I always have enough good ones.

The whole floor in the back of my Sprinter is also covered with them but they have not worn as well,it is a work truck.

Thanks Ed. I'll check into that.
My daughter was disappointed I haven't put these on the floor.
She really disappointed I didn't put them in her room.........LOL.

I stole the idea from other Forum members who did their whole
trailer in it.

Here is some 'woodgrain look' foam flooring on Amazon.
Amazon.com: We Sell Mats Wood Grain Interlocking Foam Anti Fatigue Flooring 2'x2'x3/8" Tiles: Sports & Outdoors

It doesn't look as realistic as the stuff I saw in that blue Perris at Yosemite, but it's pretty decent for foam squares.

Thanks for the detailed post, I am planning to do some work at the water tank and insulation of the tank was on my radar as something I should do. This seems like a good approach.

See how this works? I'm going to fix a simple bracket bolt and pretty soon it's all torn up with tools and materials stacked around me.

[carlkeigley]

Thanks Mike. Their pricing isn't too bad.
Will have to figure how many sq. ft. I need.
