Looking for a new lower rear bunk
We just bought a new Raptor 4014 Velocity and love it. The only thing I want to change is the lower bunk in the garage. It came with the large U shape couch and table that has cup holders. I'm looking to get the lower bunk that folds up to the sides ad makes a bench like set up. Where can these different bunks be purchased? Here is what I have now if anyone is interested. Thx!

Your welcome, glad to help. Ok, maybe this is more what you are looking for? Look at the bottom of the web page. The only thing is I don't know if you can order different fabric colors through this company.

I think what you are looking for would require a different style of electric lift system then what you currently have with the u-shaped dinette. I know now what you want to be able to do is raise the bunk fold down the sofa's and raise them up to the bottom of the bunk so the sofa's wouldn't be up against the wall when stored. Am I correct?

the photos i posted are what im looking for. My buddy has this set up in his and the lift system (hapijack) looks exactly like what I have. Im going to Mike Thompson's tomorrow and will take a closer look at the Raptor 4014 there that has the bottom bunk that im talking about (Pictured). Maybe I need to call Keystone regaring this? If I get now where at the dealership I guess I will go that route. thx again for the help.

Yep I figured that is what you was looking for. Happijak is the manufacture of the lift systems and are supplied to the builders by Lippert. A buddy of mine does purchasing for an rv manufacture and he said they are not all that cheap when I asked him about them.

More then likely yours is a Happijac system that is supplied by lippert. That is what the large majority of the toy hauler builders are using here in northern Indiana. I'm assuming that the rails that lift your bunk don't go all the way to the floor on your current set up. The style you are looking for will have rails that go to the floor. The complete frame work with motor you are looking at is about $1500.00+ and if you add the sofas to that you are looking at somewhere in the price of $2000.00+ not including shipping. Here is a site that offers the complete frame and motor assembly and is offering free shipping.
http://www.myrvpartsplacestore.com/H...ing_p_120.html
You might want to try and contact Happijac's customer service and see if maybe you could just replace the rails to accommodate adding the sofa's. That might be a cheaper solution. I hope this helps you out.
Here is Happijac's customer service contact web sit.

Rear bed lift sofa system
Spent most of a day doing research to do the same thing to my Fuzion. You can buy the brakets from Happijac but not the sofas. The sofas are made by LCI. They won't sell retail. They have a new division that is looking at creating a package for me. It will include sofas and the Happijac brakcets. They are going to get back to me next week. Stay tuned. I think a lot of owners would like to do this if it is not too expensive. The dealer and Keystone were NOT helpful.

Isn't it interesting how much they want to rip you off on just the parts. The entire double bunk system was only a $2000 option on the Fuzion that I have on order yet they want to charge you nearly that amount for less than half of the system and no labor.
Similarly, I was interested in the rear awning over the garage door but did not want the full patio package as I feel it would be in the way more than it would be useful and the price is a little outrageous. I was talking to another Fuzion owner who was having the dealer install just the awning on their new unit. She informed me that there is a steel brace added in the wall for the awning and I should see if Keystone could add that so I can add the awning myself later. When I inquired about this, the response I got was we can install the awning now for $695. I was shocked as it cost these people almost $800 for just the parts and the dealer charged them another $200 to install.
It really does pay to get all the options you may want from the factory and not add them later, but in your case you have no choice but to retrofit since this specific option wasn't available when your unit was built.

bench seats
Smitty,
I think I might have what your looking for. We just purchased a 2013 Raptor 381LEV and our "toy" won't fit with the bench seats, so we took them out. They are Twilight in color (black). If interested, message me and let me know.
Thanks!

U-bench conversion to pass thru sit-n-sleep sofas
I ordered and installed the middle trollies on my happijac system to accomidate the new sofas. I am waiting for the sofas I ordered from a division of LCI (Mobile Outfitters). I have created an installation power point instructions for installing the trollies. If anyone is interested I have contact info and part numbers. I am trying to sell the u-couch system if somebody is interested.
Send me a PM for further information.
