where to find replacement trailer furniture?

Hi, we want to upgrade our sofa. Would like something better than the original junk, and would like wall-hugging recliner if possible. The trouble is, nothing standard from Jordans and similar will fit through the door or window.

So are there any special RV-specific solutions? Good quality sofas that are disassemblable so they fit through narrow RV doors? I see lots of hits on Amazon but things there are not always as good as they seem!

    Ditto the above. EVERY recliner I have ever purchased for home or RV was in the two parts described above (including "wall-huggers").

    Shop at a furniture store that specializes in recliners - or even COSTCO.

    As far as the sofa - the backs (futon style - or hide-a-bed) backs are also removable. For hide-a-bed remove the mattress also due to the weight. An assistant helps for those.

    Have taken all of the above in/out of standard RV entry doors.

    :C

  • If you don't mind spending the money, Lambright makes some of the best. We replaced our theater seats with a double reclining loveseat to match the Ekorness Stressless recliners we have where the sleeper sofa used to be. The loveseats are wall-hugging and fit perfectly with the Thomas Payne (think "Pain") theater seats were.

  • Don't bother wit "RV" furniture. It isn't the same quality as regular home furniture. It may be a tad bit more heavy but it will hold up better under everyday use. The backs of most recliners come off so they will fit in the door usually. Take measurements and be sure of what you are buying will fit in. I've had La-Z-Boy and Best furniture I am still using after some 8 years.
  • Many recliners will disassemble and fit through the door. I purchased a basic recliner from your typical furniture store and it came apart and went through the door with ease.
  • We bought a double recliner that came in three parts. One base and two backs. Not much help to you but they do exist.

    I need a pair of recliners that will sit close to the wall to replace a sofa that is uncomfortable to sit on and has no leg rest. Recliner would be ideal it appears.
