Anybody have the new Theater Seating in EC or Adventure

Does anybody on here have the new EC or Adventure theater seating in a newer EC 1160, EC 1165 or an Adventure 116DS? Or has anybody sat in them yet? If so how comfortable are they? Are they a big enough for a person that is 6+ footer. I find so many of the RV recliners are made really small or for shorter or smaller people and someone that is taller or bigger framed can not get comfortable in them.

The closest dealer that handles these brands are over 500 miles away one way so I would like to have peoples opinion before I take off just to take a look at them.

I have looked at the Lance 1172 with the rear recliner sofa and it was not comfortable at all.

I hate sitting at the dinette all of the time when we are in the camper. If I can't find any more comfortable seating I'll try a high grade foam in the dinette seats to see if I can't get them any more comfortable then they are now. Last year in Alaska when it was next to impossible to be outside all of the time because the mosquitos would eat you alive. I used a lot of Deet but hate to have it on all the time. Also when you set at the dinette the back is so straight up and down that I'm thinking of making something that would fit behind the cushion to allow it to lean back a bit. I have to do something.

Thanks

    Thanks for the reply, we are going to have to take a trip so we see them in purpose.
  • good timing...

    If we had a LB...we would own that camper...a whole new level of comfort in a TC.

    Thanks Bill, this is sounding promising for our next rig.

    Just have to get healed up from the cataract surgeries and then can get out to take a look at one and get and see if we want to order one or not.

    I'm picking up a 116DS next week. I sat in the recliner for about 10 minutes during my time inspecting the camper. The chairs were very comfortable during that time. I'm 5' 10" and 180 lbs with back trouble.

    I can let you know more next week after spending more time with it.


    Thanks Mike,

    Looking forward to your report.

    Yea, I remember that, I think they were at the rally that Princess Craft had in Texas in April. I need to go back and read what Gordon had to say about them. If I remember right they were in a 116DS.

    Thanks
