Replacement Sofas
I've seen a lot of chatter lately about the fake leather in RV sofas wearing out too quickly. It's really a shame that the pleather wears out so fast that RVers are having to send perfectly functional couches off to the landfills just because they're ugly and worn out.
I don't have a solution for the low quality of the sofas, but we just had a great interaction with a vendor for the replacements.
We found better quality sofas online at RecPro.com.
Just like everything else these days, the sofas were backordered because of COVID. But their website has a notification feature where you can pick out what you need and then they'll email you when they're in stock.
It took about three weeks for us to get the notification before we ordered ours. After that, it took a week for FedEx to deliver the five boxes to us (one box for each section of the recliner, plus a fifth box for the center console).
I thought the installation was going to be tricky, but the old ones came out pretty easily and the new ones went in even easier since they were still in pieces (ten pieces in all).
The only hassle was getting rid of the old ones, but we were able to take them to our trash company for large item disposal.
Best of all, we found our son's favorite hat (missing for years) under the old sofa, along with the spare key to his car that had been gone for ages.
I hated having to replace the old sofas after only five years, but the new ones are a lot more functional. Hopefully they last longer than the originals.
I would definitely recommend using RecPro if it's time to replace your couches.
