Description

Whether you prefer a couch, bed, or theater seating, you want it to be an item that you can lie down on or sit down in, time and time again, and relax. You want to look forward to your downtime. After a long day of hiking, swimming, visiting local attractions, or just walking around, you want somewhere that this downtime can be spent comfortably. You want to be able to relax in your furniture and feel at ease. If you have lousy furniture, you're going to have a lousy RVing experience. If you've found yourself in this position, you've come to the right place. Here at RecPro, we pride ourselves on our high-quality RV furniture. That's why the road to comfort is traveled by those who choose RecPro luxury furniture for their RV.
The cloth 70" jackknife is a terrific choice from the RecPro line of furniture. The same great price point and lavish feel that you have become accustomed to with the Charles line are encompassed in the cloth jackknife. Unlike cloth presentations from other manufacturers, our jackknife covering is exceptionally soft, durable, and has breathability woven in. The coolness factor comes from its ability to diminish temperature capture resulting in your furniture staying cool in direct sunlight. This way, you can sit down on your couch after a long day and not get burned by any hot material, as you would with leather or vinyl. In addition to being resistant to UV heat and damage, the cloth is designed to withstand the normal wear and tear of using it. Have you ever looked at your favorite armchair only to realize that all of its use has worn out the armrests? Our cloth is designed to go through the normal sitting down and standing back up without wearing out or tearing. The cloth is also able to blend in with any existing color scheme with its soft and neutral Oatmeal or Fossil color. This way, you can be sure that your Jackknife sleeper couch will last through use and look great as well.

Another way we add luxury and improve your RV experience is by building time savers right into the products. Being able to effortlessly change this from sofa to sleeper and back to the sofa again is part of its design. With the ease of use, you won't need to worry about fussing over your couch or playing with any odd and end buttons to make the switch before settling down for sleep. In addition, we have made it lightweight and easy to assemble and install (which just might renew your faith in renovation).
Let's not forget that the point of a jackknife is to optimize space as well as time. Our configuration makes use of the complete footprint, minimizing overhang and leaving room to walk around when pulled out into a bed. When you're squished into a corner, this lessens your downtime instead of increasing comfort and convenience and that's what we had in mind with this design. Measuring 65" wide, 42" deep, and 19" high for the bed and 70" wide, 32" high, and 29" deep for the sofa, this jackknife sleeper weighs 160 pounds, able to offer you support while being lightweight.
Upgrade your style and add a comfortable sleeping and sitting space by bringing a 70" cloth Charles Jackknife from RecPro into your RV life.

There is an 11" clearance underneath the sofa. The support mechanism dips down into this area when you are changing it from a bed to sofa and vice versa. That's the best information we can give you. We do not have a master list of RVs here to look at to tell you whether or not this would work.
-
Yes it costs an extra $75 to have it shipped to a residential address. This is due to extra charges from having large packages sent to those types of addresses. Also, yes we charge sales tax to Missouri.
-
There is room under the couch, however, you have to be careful about how much room you leave, because of the movement of the sofa. The sofa bends down to transition into the bed.








































Jack knife couch looks great! Easy assembly, fast shipping!
Ray Utenis - 1958 GMC Coach
I ordered this jackknife sofa to replace sofa bed. It was the fake leather and was not comfortable. We normally don’t have people stay with us but in case we do I found this to be quite comfortable. My husband was very happy with the weight difference since he says I carry too much stuff. The awesome thing about it is we can travel with it down, we have two large dogs and it’s the perfect place for them to lay down. I put a sheet on it to keep it clean. The fabric is beautiful!

We replace the original sofa with the RecPro Charles 70" Jack Knife RV Sleeper Sofa and are extremely happy with it. It is more comfortable that the old one and installation was pretty straight forward.
Gary Benham - 2015 Jayco Jay Flight RKS26
The furniture is much lighter than the original which helps with overall Gross Weight limitations. Easy to install and didn't need instructions. Great quality. We fabric sealed the furniture before installing it (STAIN GUARD) to ensure we protected the investment.
Craig Bowman - 2019 Fleetwood Bounder
The perfect replacement furniture. Quick delivery, easy to assemble and looks fabulous!
LISA KENNEDY - 2017 Heartland Big Horn 3970

We purchased the 70” jackknife sofa in Biscuit. It compliments our Quantum interior and fabric appears to be rugged and soft to the touch. It replaced a worn, 65” faux leather Lippert sofa. Easy DIY assembly and install, even for “Harry RV owner”.
Lawrence Engelhaupt - Thor Quantum, RS26, 2018
We love our new couch! The website made it very easy to make the choice with pictures and dimensions of the couch. It arrived fast and we assembled it very easily. It is a great addition to our camper as it replaced two swivel chairs that were always in the way and rarely used.

Old furniture was peeling - terrible pleather!
Peter Johnson - Grand Design 313 RLTS, 2016

I took this picture just after installing the Rec Pro Charles 70" Jack knife sofa. The sofa was easy to install and as you can see it looks great. It is comfortable for a jack knife and I am very happy with it.
Vance Thomas - 2018 Thor WS-31 Class C Motorhome
Sofa and theater seating fake leather peeled in S. Fl heat and humidity. Fabric material best for us. Both were easy to install.
Mike Scherck - 2018 Jayco 321RSTS

The sofa and dinette made my motorhome look new again. Of course, it took some fabrication and a little work but what a difference the new interior made.

Great quality product!!
Haley Walker - 1998 Monaco Diplomat
We had a hide a bed in this unit. When it was open it blocked the door outside and to the bathroom. Put this jackknife sofa in and works much better.
Gerald Langlois - 2005 Montana
Love them. Great fit and look nice. Very comfortable.
Jacob Kerstetter - 2001 Safari Trek 2430
We are very happy with the sofa!!
Belinda Banks - 2014 Grand Design Reflection 303rls
Removed original power recliners and replaced them with the 70" Jack Knife Sleeper Sofa. Now we can lay down, without having to lower the Murphy bed. Sofa installed very easily. Actually provided more walk room with the slide in compared to original recliner configuration. And, the Murphy bed fits, atop the laid down sofa perfectly. Very happy with purchase!

Just finished installing my new RecPro 70" Jack Knife couch. Great upgrade from the deteriorating faux leather original couch. It's sits higher than the original couch but overall very happy with the results.
John R LaPore - 2012 Forest River Sunseeker
We replaced our L-shaped couch with attached recliner with a 70 inch Jack knife couch. The recliner we replaced with a euro recliner. We also replaced our theater seating area with an additional 70 inch Jack knife couch.. not only does the room look bigger, we have 2 areas for guest which we didn't have previously. Love it!
Sheila C Noel - 2015 Grand Design Solitude ST368TD
Great replacement for the factory sleeper sofa that was coming apart from minimal use.
Randy Murphy - Flagstaff 30WFKSS 2016
We replaced our dinette with this jackknife sofa and LOVE it! It's a very comfortable sofa and it helped to totally transform our dated rv. Shipping was hassle-free and very timely. I highly recommend Recpro for quality and great service.
