We are going to take out our love seat size hide a bed and replace it with just a couch. Wife wants to go look at IKEA, I think the RV furniture mfg. might be the way to go, their stuff comes in sections so easier to maneuver of course more expensive. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

We put an Ashley Love Seat Recliner with center console in our camper. The love seat broke-down into 3 pieces, making it easy to put in the 5’er! They may have a sofa of similar design! memtb

Look into LayZBoy.
They have certain models that the backs come off which makes it easy to move.

We've done it more than once. Hardly ever use the hide-a-bed but use recliners daily.

Yes, you have to measure but we've had pretty good luck. swapping out for a dual recliner.

In addition to overall width, you want to consider how far it must sit out from the wall, so the back isn't hitting the wall when you recline.

That would make doable to get thru the door. Thanks

Ikea furniture is dis-assembled. Put it together yourself following picture instructions.

I have purchased seats from Shop4Seats and I have to say their quality is outstanding.

I see that you are in California,they have a shop in La Habra that I have been to and picked up my seat,saving shipping costs.Their staff is friendly and Knowledgeable.You might give them a call.

Check out Rec Pro or Lambright for RV specific furniture. Good quality items.

Measure carefully. Consider loading a cardboard mockup of the IKEA sofa.
