Couch air mattress

Looking to buy a used roo or any Forest River hybrid model that has the air mattress in the couch. Can anybody tell me what models carry this couch with the air mattress and what the first year was that they started to make these. Thank you for the help I look forward to the responses

I saw that option on a 2015 23IKSS recently while considering that model. It was about a $500-$600 option.

But even once you narrow the list down, you are still going to have to find a unit where the 1st buyer opted for it. Could get tricky.

Good luck to you.

Vin.

I have returned my air mattress because of leaks, after 3 nights sleeping on it. I have a new 23ikss. The dealer told me it is a very common problem. I wondering if the $600 option is really worth it! If you are using this for kids, perhaps a regular air mattress on the floor would work. My camper has tons of floor space.

I am currently awaiting the arrival of my third warrantied air mattress in 1.5 years (extended 2nd year warranty covers matresses)! They have a problem with the diaphragm in the pump. Pure junk and don't waste your money. Wal-Mart has a large online assortment of air mattresses. I paid $70.00 for one and have slept on it for three weeks and no leaks. The first and second air mattresses from F.R. lasted two days each!

We have used our multiple times and it worked great. Love that it actually folds back up easy!!

Storage is great, so is the drawer below the couch, but the hide a bed doesn't do you any good if it leaks!

We used ours for two nights and no problems. You can use AC or batteries. Fills up very quick and deflates just as fast. I am very happy with mine. Also. The dealer didn't charge me for this option, so I lucked out.

Ours works great as well and we've used it on every trip so far - probably 10-12 nights. Last trip was a week long, and most mornings we'd just keep it inflated and move it over to the front bunk. Does not seem to be losing air at all, and it is very comfortable to sleep on.

Yeah it looks likes like a great idea.

If it is broken, then that obviously sucks.
