My slide is 35" deep. I have found a very few theatre love seats that are the narrow. IT doesn't really matter that the seat hangs over the edge of the slide but by placing a platform under it would not really matter.
Can you be more specific as to just how you did it and what did you use to do it with?
TIA!!!

I cut some 1x4 strips and drilled some holes in them to correspond with the legs on the sofa bottom, so it would not slide around while driving.They are about 35" long. I screwed them into the slide out floor (make sure the screws are the right length to not go through the bottom). The holes I drilled correspond to the leg protrusions. They set off the back wall about 5 or so inches, but could go all of the way to the wall.
Depending on the sofa you buy, you have to do some very careful measuring when you screw the strips down so everything lines up.
We looked at all kinds of rv sofas, and the real leather we found was about 3 grand. Didn't want the fake stuff that flakes after a few years. Found the Ashley one on Amazon, but went to a local Ashley store to see in person. They came very close to the amazon price....about 1700.00
Most work was the physical lifting through the door, but the door was wide enough, since the backs come off the sofa.
Also cut some tapered shims to slide under the front edge of the slide out when it is retracted. Stops the bouncing of the middle of the slide when under way, and makes it very stable to sit on when going down the road.
Painted a narrow piece of board to cover the underneath front...purely cosmetic.
Need any more pics ...let me know......Tim
