Best place to order RV furnature?

I went to my local furniture store and purchased a loveseat and recliner for our fifth wheel. Better quality and prices

Stay away from RV furniture. Go to your local furniture stores and actually sit on what you want to buy. You won't find the same quality in RV furniture as you can in the better home furnishing stores.
Although you can find some really cheap junk in some of the major furniture store chains. Thats why I would look at non chain stores. They will carry the better brands.

Before you go local and try to find something, make sure you get measurements of what can fit in any and all of the spots. Get height, width, but most importantly, the depth.

Go to a good local furniture dealer and find what you want or see if they can order what you want. It's best if you can sit, feel and see before the exchange of money.

Just remember that you have to get what you buy in that RV door, or face taking out a big window. So take a tape measure with you when you go shopping. Measure that door first.

Sounds like a great idea!!!! Thanks!!!!!

Very good point.This can be a major problem. I'd like to replace the couch/sleeper in my new 5th wheel but would have to disassemble the thing to get it down the hall and out the door...or remove a window and I'm not too crazy about that idea.

x2. just check and make sure you can get it through the door(s) and into location. Lower cost and likely better quality.

Most all recliners have removable backs. I had a furniture sales guy tell me that. He said they do that for shipping. You can get more in the truck/railcar that way. The important measurement is the distance from the feet to the top f the arm rest. Thats the only way you can get them through the door.
Make sure the backs come off and you should be good.

Removing a window is not a big job, and the added benefit of doing so is renewing the butyl tape sealant under the frame.

We replaced most of our living room furniture and put in a house hold 3 seater recliner couch. Did not need the free standing kitchen table and chairs, or the 2 rocker. Found what we wanted at Value City Furniture. I measured, measured, and measured again before buying that couch. We looked for quite a while, different places, and then at Value City walked in and ... BINGO! there it was. The guy at the furniture store thought I was a bit eccentric with measuring tapes and removing the backs and everything, until I told him it HAD to fit through a travel trailer door, and successfully make a turn. He let me take the backs off, get all my measurements and buy it. Next day I arrived at the back door of Value City Furniture where they pulled out a brand new one, all bundled up in shrink wrap.

Three guys looked at me like I was nuts. That fat thing would not go through the door. I told them it needed to come apart. They removed all that plastic and separated the backs. Three of them on the outside, me on the inside. Couch was lifted up on end and the top side went in first, as the ceiling was higher than the door. Raised it all the way to the ceiling and then the bottom side (actually the end), lifted up and slid right inside the door.

Once inside the door, standing on end, I rotated it so it would stand in the correct direction. We walked it on into the camper on its end, and finally passed the kitchen area and lowered it into correct position. They put the back on, I pushed it into the slide out, and everyone was happy.

They even got rid of all the packing material. I looked at them and said, "See, I told you it would fit!" They smerked, admired the camper, and they all three said, they would love to have a camper like this. Then went on back inside! Success!

Later, I added wheels to it so it can move around and face the back window. End result, we love it.

In fact, the couch was so comfortable, a year later we bought the same identical couch for the house with the matching recliner. We are truly happy campers!
