Hi folks- new member here and was not sure where to post this. My wife and I are full time rvers in a 2014 Montana 3850FL. This is a front living unit with 5 slides, 2 are in the front living area. The 2 front slides are each 7 foot long and are raised about 6 inches off the floor. We are looking at replacing a not so comfy couch with a recliner love seat. There are a couple of things that I was looking to get answered but unfortunately the Keystone factory folks pretty much punted on answering.
I was looking to see how much weight we could put in the slide. The love seat we were looking at was about 220-250#. We also need to extend the depth of the slide platform about 12 inches as it is only 30 inches deep and since it is about 6 inches off the floor an extension is needed. I was looking to see what was behind that 6 inch rise and if a board could be attached to the vertical (6 inch part) and the top (flat) part of the slide. I was thinking screws but did not want to mess anything up behind or below. Keystone said they did not have a clue what the slide weight capacity was and that they could not answer the other question as they do not recommend modifications.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks
