In another discussion about floor plans someone mentioned that they prefer being able to have a floor plan that allows them to watch TV sitting in their recliner. It just so happens my one month old 2009 Alumascape 5th/W has a couch bed opposite the TV, but I see no logical reason why I can't just swap the couch location with the recliners.
Moral of the story sometimes when the floor plan is not exact ally to your liking moving things around may be an option, you can't move a bathroom but you can move chairs and tables

Didn't take long (for us) to decide we didn't need the pull-out
hide-a-bed couch or the factory recliners - or - the screwed to the floor dinette table and four chairs.
The "slightly" rectangular dinette was replaced with a drop-leaf 36" round table and two chairs located where the couch was.
*If* I want to move it out from the wall - no problem.
With table against the wall, one leaf is normally down - which still leaves plenty of room for two at the table.
BTW - It's not anchored to the floor - It hasn't moved an inch (on it's own) during lots of traveling miles.
The two factory swivel recliners were replaced by two (much more comfortable) LazyBoy recliners - which face the TV at the front of the coach.
They can be turned (if desired) to face the side wall for a drop-down screen for movies via a micro projector.
Left lots more usable floor space, and doesn't interfere with slide operation. (one recliner is on the slide, one not)
*If* a grandkid wants to come along - inflatable mattress.
Whatever works for you - It's your trailer to configure as you wish..:C
BTW if I were to purchase a new trailer again, I would try to order *without* any furniture. (or work something out with the dealer)
