16ft Dinette/Bed

Wd have a 2016 16ft Deluxe with the front bath and side dinette.  We finally got around to trying to set it up as a bed and the cushions seem 6 inches too big.  The table comes off the post and fits perfectly between the two seats. But no matter how we turn them we can't get them to lay flat.  Sort of makes a nice raised area for your neck/head, but it seems they should lay flat.

What are we doing wrong?

Correction

It is the cushions that seem to big for the area. Sorry if my question was conffuing.  The cushions that make up the seat and backrest when in dinette configuration are just to big to fit in the space that makes the bed. It seems they should fit flatly.  W measured them as 6 inches too long all together.

cushions

I am talking about the cushions that are on the side dinnette,  They fit perfectly on the seats and backrest but when laid out as a bed they are like 6 inches to long.  We have the camper in storage now but hope to get over there in a couple of days and can take some pics.  Thanks for the idea.  We can compare them to our big bed in the back

Std. vs DX Side Dinette

My bet is you have a set of standard side cushions. Since the DX rear bed is 10" wider your SD bed should be about 10" shorter than a standard trailer. If the bottom cushions are the correct size each back cushion should be 1/2 as tall as the table top width. If you have a new trailer Scamp should at least give you new back covers. The foam is easy to cut to fit with an electric knife. I would call Scamp.

An excellent idea.  We will triple check the cushion dimensions to see if the back cushions fit the table and then call Scamp if necessary. 
Thanks.

Tight Fitting Cushions

The cushions on our 2015 13' standard with the large bed are tight fitting. When the cushions are just placed where they go they look way too big to fit into that area. There is a trick to get them to lie flat! Put all four cushions in their places. Then at the center joint raise both adjoining cushions edges up evenly to form an upside down "V". Now push down on the center of the upside down "V". The cushions will compress each other and go right into place nice and flat. Doing this works for us. Hope this is clear enough. Try it!!

Our cushions fit perfectly

Our cushions fit perfectly when we converted the side dinette to a bed.

As I suspect they should Doug.  We probably somehow got the wrong size cushions - possibly something to do with the large size bed in the 16 ft deluxe in back. the cushions are 6-7 inches longer than the table so there is no way they will fit  Have a call into Scamp to resolve the problem.

Cushions Replaced

After a short talk with Scamp, they sent us two new cushions.  Problem solved.  Somehow we got cushions that were too big.  Great customer service by Scamp!
