Removing couches

During the few days between getting home from our Yellowstone vacation and leaving the homestead, we moved more stuff into the coach and into storage.

Another big project was to remove the two leather couches from the coach. They were nice couches, but the L-shaped main couch kinda blocked the passageway when the slides were in, plus we wanted to use our fancy individual chairs, and have a desk in place of the smaller couch, since we’ll be working from our various campsites.

Here’s the L-shaped couch, with the L part slid in (see the inside tour post for its expanded state):

We also removed the smaller secondary couch opposite that; here it is piled with stuff:

The disassembly of the two couches only took a few hours; I took them apart into small enough pieces to be able to fit out the door, starting by undoing the four bolts holding each piece to the floor:

The seatbelts are also mounted to the floor, but I left those:

I kept the seatbelts, tucked into the cavity in the wall; these proved very useful to hold our chairs in place later:

Part of the couch removed; you can see the carpeted slide-out (we later removed the plastic from the carpet):

Next was the L-shaped part:

That couch completely removed:

On to the smaller couch; it also folded out as a bed, in a jack-knife style:

The smaller couch space; we’ll add a desk there later:

We took the couch components to our storage unit; we could restore them to the coach when we eventually sell it, or include them as “some assembly required”, or sell separately, or something; a problem for future us:

Here’s our coach with our chairs in place, along with lots of boxes, with the slides in; still enough room to get past them:

I’ll provide a picture of how it looks with the slides out later, once we’ve tidied away more of the stuff.
