I'm wanting to add a swivel base to 2 older Lazy Boy recliners we moved to the RV. Has anyone added their own swivel base to a Lazy Boy recliner? If so, which base did you use? Where did you purchase it? Any problems you ran in to? Things you learned?

We did when we bought the recliners. I liked them at first because both recliners would slide easy for traveling towards the side of the room. During a trip and not unhooking for the one night and the fifth high in the front the chair would not stay still. The way we kept both from turning when traveling was a ratchet strap under the base and up and over both arms. this worked great. My wife had replaced her recliner with a regular base and it really works better for her but not so easy to move to the wall.chevman

Disclaimer: I have never done this...but..I found this. Maybe you can screw/bolt something like this to your existing recliner. They have lots of other options also. This one adds a "rocker" and a swivel.Click HERE

We have two recliners in our RV that swivel BUT I see no advantage in having them do so. Once they are set up, facing the TV, there is no need to use the swivel capability. Perhaps your situation is different.

a couple of years ago when we replaced our camper's OEM recliners with Lazy Boys, as a condition of buying them, the store had to install swivel bases .... they did and we enjoy them Jim
