We just bought a used 2000 29foot Jayco and I would like to recover the couch, but I need to know how do you take it apart?

Is it a jacknife type or fopdout,or what? Look for screws holding the sides and front to the frame. If it is a jacknife type, the back and seat will have bolts ataching themto the frame. Take them loose and remove.

I'm not familear with your unit, but I took my jacknife couch out of the RV, buitl my own couch with storage using only the matress and cushions from the jacknife.
I don't know much about the fold out type, but the jacknife will come apart. First determine if you can get the two pieces (frames with seat and maybe the backrest frame if you are changing the color or pattern) out through the door.
1 Unfasten clamps from the floor
2 Remove hinge pieces (steel bars,the hinges are welded on the frames)
3 Remove leg assembly
Mark or write down where each of the pieces go for reassembly.
My RV has a rear kitchen and door so it was a challenge of csareful manouvering.

If other than a jack knife, there should be locks/latches on either end on the back under the cover, holding the back to the bottom. OR the back may just slide down into some grooves on either end. My Springsteel sofa came apart that way along with the replacement double reclining wall hugger love seat I replaced it with.

back of couch should pull straight up so you only have 2 section to get out the door,discovered this by mistake when trying to remove our fold out bed from 5er.

Ditto. If you do not remove the foldout bed, secure it before turning it on the side.

If all else fails, get a bigger hammer.
