Sofás Jackknife

What is an RV jackknife sofa?

A jackknife sofa is a space-saving RV couch that folds flat into a sleeping surface by pulling the seat forward and lowering the back. The mechanism gets its name from the folding action, similar to a jackknife. These sofas are standard equipment in many travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class C motorhomes because they double as a guest bed without taking up extra floor space. For other interior upgrades, see our RV patio mats selection.

How do I measure for a replacement jackknife sofa?

Measure the overall length of your existing sofa from armrest to armrest, the depth from the back cushion to the front edge, and the total height from the floor to the top of the back cushion. Also measure the wall space and any clearance needed for the sofa to fold flat into bed position. Standard jackknife sofa lengths in this collection range from 60 to 72 inches, so confirm your measurements before ordering to avoid fitment issues.

What materials are used on these jackknife sofas?

Most jackknife sofas in this collection use synthetic leather (PVC or polyurethane) over a hardwood frame with high-density foam cushions. Synthetic leather holds up well to the temperature swings and humidity changes common in RVs, and it wipes clean with mild soap and water. Check the individual product listings for specific material composition, frame construction, and cushion density before ordering.

How does shipping work on RV jackknife sofas?

Jackknife sofas ship via truck freight due to size and weight, with freight charges noted on each product page. Delivery is curbside, so plan to have help moving the sofa into your RV. Inspect the packaging at delivery and note any damage on the bill of lading before signing. Need help confirming fitment or freight details?
