Optimized Storage Systems

As you know, RVs have limited space and therefore a need to fully optimize the storage space that there is. We take measures to design innovative new spaces for storage. The information below provides detailed descriptions of the types and operations of storage systems available in CrossRoads products. Note these systems vary by unit.

Under the Bed Storage

There may be a large storage compartment located under the bed. It is accessed by grasping the end ledge at the foot of the bed and lifting. Before lifting, make sure that there is nothing on the bed that will restrict its movement, or add extra weight.

Pneumatic struts on both sides of the storage compartment aid both in lifting and holding the bed in the upright position. When storing items under the bed, be sure to leave space in the storage compartment for the struts when the bed is closed.

When lowering the bed, there will be some resistance felt at first, because of the struts. Be sure to keep both hands on the end ledge all the way down to the closed position to avoid having the bed suddenly drop shut.

Store items in the areas designated for storage. DO NOT store anything in the area reserved for the converter and electrical panels.

Warning: Use caution when lowering the bed to keep hands and fingers at the edge of the end ledge provided and not on the side or further back than necessary, where you may encounter pinch points.

Seating, Tables, and Additional Beds

Depending on which model and options you have in your recreational vehicle, seating will include some combination of the following:

  1. Jack-Knife Sofa - The sofa will comfortably seat three adults. It also converts to a bed by lifting the front section and pulling toward you. The sofa back follows and pivots down into a prone position. To reconvert back to a sofa, lift the front and push back and down into place. The sofa back will follow and pivot up into its upright position automatically.
  2. Hide-A-Bed Sofa - The sofa will comfortably seat three adults. The sofa contains a pull-out bed that is accessed by removing the seat cushions. To open the bed, use the handle provided in the center, pulling up and out to its fully extended position. To store, simply reverse the procedure, lifting and folding it back to its original position. Replace the cushions on the sofa to complete the procedure. Make sure not to force operation of the sofa if there is resistance. Look for obstructions that may be interfering with the folding mechanism.
  3. Dinette - The dinette will seat four people. During traveling only one person should be seated on each side of the table in order to make use of the seat belts provided.

    The dinette can also be converted into an additional bed if required. To convert, lift the tabletop off of the two support posts. Remove the support posts from the floor and lay them down between the seats. Insert the table top between the seats on the ledges provided. Loosen the seat cushion from the Velcro fasteners and slide each together to form the bed. Reverse this process when reconverting to the dinette configuration.

    Storage and/or various systems components can be accessed from above by removing the seat cushions and lifting the seat supports.
