Hey Emily. The Thomas Payne RV Jackknife Sofa and Kickboard item # TP97AR can not sit flush against the wall and still pull out. It needs at least 1-1/2" of clearance between the wall and top of sofa. This sofa measures 72" wide x 30" deep x 34" tall and is 42" deep when reclined.
What kind of trailer or motorhome do you have?
