Thanks for the attention but it looks as though I got took when buying this thing. I knew of some problems and did not know about some hidden problems. But anyways the person I bought this from seems to had been there before me & removed the bronken pieces and maybe one of the reasons he sold it to me the sucker at such a low price. This couch is in very good overall condition but to be honest I never thought I would run into so many hurdles. I have had this thing for a year and have not been able to use it one time. I will say this once I get it all in proper running order there just ain't going to be much that I will not be able to tackle. Any one need to hire a traveling BARTH rv repair guy at your location ?
