Let down table bed in 2012 wildcat 313re

Just wondering if anyone has a new Wildcat fifth wheel or Travel trailer with a table that makes a bed. We have had several campers with a let down bed but we can't figure out how to configure the cushions on this one to make it work. The two back cushions are rounded around and don't seem to work in any position. Any help would be appreciated.

I am laughing at your post because I had the exact same question. We have a 282rk. You should have seen me working those cushions! I kept thinking it can't be this hard, but I never did figure it out. I sent an email today to Forest River with the question and will let you know what I hear.

The new dinette cushions were made with a small "L" shape on the end that should easily sit against the wall/window creating a little "seat back." I'll look into this further when I return to the plant after the holidays...

Thanks a lot I can't wait to hear back. We still haven't figured out how to make the bed.

I'm back in the factory again tomorrow and will see if I can find out some more information (and maybe get some photos).

I spoke with the salesman where I bought my wildcat and he says that you take and lay the two curved cushions long ways and do not use the other two. I haven't tried it yet because my camper is under a cover. When the rain finally moves out I will try to figure it out. Maybe Chris will find us a picture. According to the dealer they have had lots of questions about this subject but do not have any diagrams.

Any updates on this?

I am so glad to hear others have the same question. We purchased a brand new Sterling 32QB. The table converting into a bed was one thing we forgot to ask about. I'd love to have any pictures or instructions on this.

Thanks!

As of a matter of fact I finally got through to a sales rep yesterday. They sent me a picture of how it goes. I am not pleased with it but there is nothing I can do about it. We only chose that option for the luxury of having an extra bed but now we regret it. I will try to figure out how to post the picture on here but it still doesn't work just great. The cushions are just to wide. I hope it helps you.

Looks like the cushions with the bend in them could be turned end for end and let it hang out over the end in the middle or on each side. Wouldn't care for bending the cushions like that.

I'm not sure I totally understand what your saying but however no matter how you arrange the cushions they are just too wide to all fit. They could have shaved a few inches off of each of the the bottom cushions and it would have worked great. Just an oversight I guess.
