Anniesport,
Like you, we liked the L-shaped sofa on the Bounder as our second choice till we went to the RV show in St. Louis last weekend. Seen a Pace Arrow with it and the fireplace. After seeing it we don't want it anymore. For 2 people it's fine, but if there are more than that and you want to sit around and talk, I forward living room incorporating the captain's chairs in the cockpit area works much better for us. Also when the sofa is extended it really narrows the hallway and makes the entire area seem small.
Just our opinion.
Rick
