recliner chairs for 5th wheel

Looking to buy new recliner chairs (2). Where can I buy them?
  • rear living yes, chairs are in the back, we put them on the couch on the rear slide.
  • You can buy la z boy recliners that are comfortable and easy to put in. That is what we have done in the past. The backs come off so easy to get in. But make sure the back does come off so it is easy to get in.
  • Tie them down for traveling! I screwed small sturdy hook loops in the floor behind and out of sight so I can easily strap them down for traveling. I removed the dinette and found 2 recliners at Wayfair.com that were only 27" wide but the seats were 1/2" wider than our big Lazy Boys at home. Difference was the armrests are not oversized with padding. And almost as comfortable to sit in. Still left room for a 12" side table between them. I thought they might be cheap junk but after 2 years of heavy use the quality is great.

    You can buy them at the same store you'd buy some for your home.

    Can you give me the name of a store? What about Camping World?


    Another vote for the Lazy Boys. We have them and love them. For pete's sake stay away from Camping World!
  • We also have Lazy Boy backs come off which makes them easy to get inside the fiver. Our sofa is also Lazy Boy and we upgraded with a temper pedi mattress which makes it more comfortable for our guests. Having lots of fabric and leather choices is an added benefit.

    What is your opinion of recliner chairs from Costco?

    Those look like they would work nice. I could use them in my house.


    Cheap Substandard Lippert junk. They somehow obtained the name which people associate with quality. Not unlike the name "Bell and Howell" which people associate with those bulletproof projectors they used to use in schools. Now it's used to sell the "As seen on TV" Chinese crapola.

    We have a reclining, wall hugging sofa that we purchased from Costco some time ago. It is very comfortable, still looks like new, and fit through our door easily (the backs come off).


    From what I have observed, most of the furniture Costco sells is pretty good quality. We have a full bedroom set in our home for the past 10 or 12 years that is holding up well also.

    We found some theater chairs at COSTCO that fit perfectly in our toy hauler. I will never buy any more 'made for rv' furniture as it's junk.


    I assume you have not owned FlexSteel.
