Default Murphy Bed

We have a 2004 Gulfstream Endura on a Kodiak chasis. We have an elderly, somewhat handicapped family of 5 (sometimes 6) adults. Sleeping in this RV is just like any other, the dinette =1, the couch =1 or 2, and we put up a cot, plus 2 in the bedroom.

One time we took out the dinette and had 2 home recliners in there. They were good for relaxing, even sleeping but not good for travel. The real problem is daytime activity. I would like to make the bedroom available for daytime TV and using the desk and cabinets more readily.

I am thinking of taking out the bed and put in recliner/murphy bed setup.
I have not found a murphy bed for rv (with recliners underneath) like the Leisure Unity setup for sale on the internet. Camping World has nothing like that.

I am somewhat worried about the additional weight on the slideout but if I use the other cabinets then the slide side cabinets can be kept empty and the underbed storage would be taken away, thus eliminating that weight. Any thoughts? Anyone know where a I can look for these? We are in PA.
