Need help with rear couch/bed in Wildcat

Has a pic of the back bench. In front of the cushion is a wooden stop/panel about 4" high. You just pull that whole thing towards the front and set the smaller cushions in the back down and there you have it. Instant bed. It rests on top of the two side boxes. There is another piece of plywood that overlaps the one in back. The front one rests on the back one and the two side boxes. Pretty common. I'll see if I got more pics of it without cushions.

Here is an additional pic of the back bench with the two top pieces and back wall removed.

Hope this helps.

I didn't take very many pics of this build since I was in a hurry and the whole thing took me less than 30 days. Not much time for photography!

The rail on the wall is what they rest on too.

LOL
Reminds me of the story of the "Princess and the Pea"!

If you can feel it through the cushions then 1 of two things are the problem;
1: Cushions too thin and not thick enough or firm enough (too old).
2: Not enough daytime activities at the campground to make you dead tired enough to collapse on anything and just pass out and sleep! (Do more stuff or stay up later at the campfire, or more drinks before bed!) LOL

You can get rid of the overlap. Trim the front edge of the back piece or the back edge of the front piece. If you do this though you will loose support in the center where they meet. You would have to put another "under lapping" piece that would help support the two non "over lapping" pieces that you just cut to fit. (Make sure to run your screws down through the top piece into the support piece or "Bed of Nails will result LOL) Basically having a strip off of one for the other to fall onto to rest on with that edge matching the edge of the other so they are both even with one resting on the "under lip that is attached to the other. This may or may not need additional support with an extra cabinet wall built underneath to support the joint. This would mean you would loose your storage area under the bed.

Clear as mud, right?
