Swapping a jack knife sofa for a recliner

I'm thinking of swapping out the jack knife sofa for a wall hugger recliner in my Arctic Fox 22H. Can anyone think of any gotchas here, other than, like, fitting stuff through the door?

  • Many recliners now come with the back removable so that they can get thru small doors Ect. We put a Lazy Boy in our MH after removing the sofa behind the passenger seat. Big improvement!

    On my motorhome, the jackknife sofa is not mounted on the floor but rather built on a box that is also a storage bay with a door to the outside. From what I can see that isn't the case for your trailer, but it would be good to make sure that there aren't any tanks or systems "stuff" hiding within.
