duel recliners in a 2014 leprechan 31ds

does anybody have duel recliners in their coachman rv , I have a 2014 31ds leprechaun with a leather couch and im thinking about replacing it with the optional duel recliners in ivory its only my wife and I most of the time and they look very comfortable to sit and watch tv . And where would I find them at im sure I could install them myself .
  • I too had the same situation, having a 2014 leprechaun 317 with jacknife sofa. I took some measurements of the space, went to Living Spaces (local furniture store) and found a double reclining love seat that would work. However, because of the gear drive for the slide, I had to modify love seat frame (cut and reweld) to be able to bolt into factory location. Total investment was $650 for recliner +$18 for beer= MUCH better TV experience!! Sorry I dont have photos of project, I had my camera with all pics stolen, good luck with your project, if you're handy and find the right recliner it's actually pretty easy.
  • I have a 27ft Forest River no slide out. I was going to remove the dinette and install dual recliners but my wife seen some Euro style swivel seats she likes better. As it seems to us a waste of space to dedicate a total area for eating, it makes since to us. I do not have any utility or component obstructions.

    OH its snowing in New England
  • Sorry that I can't help you with a source for recliners that fit, but I ordered my 2016 Leprechaun 319DS with the factory recliners and was so glad I did! I knew that I would have no need to use the sofa as a bed, so it was a logical choice. The recliners are comfortable and make TV watching much more enjoyable.
  • We drove out to Elkhart IN to Brad and Hall and bought a Loveseat recliner that fit perfectly. We disassembled the jackknife sofa prior to getting there so the guys from B & H just brought it out and set it in place and it fit as we expected.
  • We pulled out our jack knife couch and bought 2 euro style recliners from Camping World. Works out good.
