Replacing furnature

I have a real leather recliner I bought at Costco for $300. We have to turn it sideways so the slide will clear it when on the move. It also has to be pulled from the wall for full recline which is not a problem for us. Very comfortable, nap-worthy.

Our Carriage furniture also failed.

Don't they all;) I don't even bother with the Bonded leather anymore I just get Microfiber Recliners and a bonus Cats hate Clawing on them:B

Probably no problem replacing anything. but just watch the weight. Much RV furniture is lower quality than home furniture, due to the weight. We have taken out the couch, and replaced with a swing rocker which DW really likes.

Go to any furniture store and find something you like, it just has to fit through the door. Many of the recliners & couches have removable backs so it's easy to get them in.

X2 This is exactly what we did and couldn't be happier.

We've been looking for two chairs to replace our current ones for the last three years or so. Like one poster said, it has to fit thru the door. We've given up. Took our two chairs to an upholstery shop today to have them re cushioned. A lot cheaper than new ones.

RecPro has an extensive line of RV furniture and a decent reputation:

We removed our sleeper sofas (in previous fifth wheel and current one) and replaced them with two Ekornes Stressless recliners (pricey, but the only chairs my back will tolerate). We find RV sleeper-sofas to be extremely uncomfortable for either sitting or sitting.

Different parts of the country must have different furniture available. The last 2 5th wheels we have replaced furniture in and had no problem getting furniture thru the door. You may have to remove the backs which is very easy or rotate thru the doorway with the item on it's side. The sofa sleepers I've had to go vertical with and rotate it out the door. We've done recliners very easy ( by myself) and electric reclining leather loveseats that were zero clearance recliners with a neighbor's help. The furniture went thru the door when it went in so I always figure it will go out and new will go in if it is close to the same size. We like the added quality of regular house furniture.

Can anyone give me brand names and or models or stores or web sites they bought from.

We purchased a Lafer recliner chair from Brad & Hall about 10 years ago and it is very comfortable to both sit and sleep in. It is also very compact so it doesn't take all the room in the RV. Kind of pricy but well worth the cost in my opinion.

We also replaced the uncomfortable sofa/bed in our trailer with a wall hugger, reclining, leather sofa from Costco. They have them on sale now and then and are of good quality. We have no need anymore for a 2nd bed in our trailer as all our kids are grown. Any overnight guests will be very comfortable in the reclining sofa.

We also have two Stressless recliners in our sticks and bricks home that we have had since 2003. They also are very comfortable for both sitting an sleeping and are also pricy. We purchased them from a company in Tampa, Florida, while snowbirding down there, called Florida Leather Gallery.
