Replacing Recliners in my 5th wheel

[rrbowman]

My 5th wheel has two Flexsteel swivel rocker recliners in the rear of the coach and I have to move one of them into the entrance area in order to bring LR slide in. They are very heavy and I want to replace them with lighter recliners that will be easier to move, what have others used to replace these heavy chairs? I have read that some use Lazyboy but I cannot find what model they used. Any Ideas?

Thanks ReneeG but our tv comes up from behind the fireplace. Not enough room for a swivel arm. And Blacksilver, great suggestion but we have children that visit sometimes so we need the bed.
Thanks drfife. I'm going to do that.

One day we had e eureka moment. Maybe twice a year someone sits on that damned couch. It's big and it cramps our camper. Out it went!

Modify the rear window valance.

With much effort I moved the sofa bed and the recliners which now is how I figure it should be set up. Now the problem is the slides won't close with the sofa bed in the rear of the Rv.

This is the exact setup of our Bighorn 3055RL, so we just kept the sofa in it's original spot and fortunate for us, the TV is on a swivel arm so we pull it out and swivel it so that the two of us can easily watch it from the recliners without having to strain our necks. If your TV is not on an arm and can be, look into replacing it with a swivel or articulating mount.

I had the same problem trying to move the heavy recliners. Moved the recliners t
where the old sofa was ( threw the sofa out) Picked up two cheap euro rocker/recliners at a chain called ShopKo for less than 300.00. they are real light. Now we will see how they hold up. They are comfortable, but then I can
fall asleep in any chair

Our Cameo came with the very heavy normal rv recliners. We hated them so dealer got us euro chairs. We have a rear door(which i really dont like) and euro foot stool was in door way. We were staying in Amarillo Tx. And decided to go shopping. Went to Havertys and showed salesman our deminsions as area is not big. Also needed 0 clearance. Found some that were perfect and also had electric controller. DW and myself are small. If your big they may not work for you.

We found these http://www.besthf.com/best/Furniture/Recliners/Petite/RUDDICKat a furniture store near us. We haven't bought them yet but they are on our list of changes. Very well constructed. IMO La-Z-Boy is over priced. We have 3 pieces of La-Z-Boy furniture in our living room. Theater seating, love seat and a single chair. The build quality is great, but after sitting in the theater sofa 90% of the time it has lost it's shape. The material is wearing really well though. Best furniture has a better selection of recliners IMO. We've been to both stores here in town and if you're looking for smaller recliners Best has more to offer.
