Hi Mark; according to Lippert the Thomas Payne RV Jackknife Sofa # TP86KR is a "wall hugger." This means it can sit right up against the wall in the upright position. You don't need a certain amount of space behind it.

Hey Mark, how did the wall-hugger design on your Thomas Payne jackknife sofa work out once you had it in place? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same sofa in their RV.
