Coachmen Class C Recliner Option

On the Coachmen website, some Concord, Leprechaun and Prism floorplans offer a recliner option. There is only a crude graphic of this option and I could not find an actual picture of it or even one for sale on the web with that option. I emailed Coachmen and they sent me this photo:



Does anyone have any thoughts about this option? I even see it offered in a short floorplan where it would take the place of the dinette. I don't see any tray mechanism, but it got me thinking. None of my other diet plans have worked, could it be the tables fault? Maybe the table forces you into some cultural feast mode and I would be better off eating finger food in the recliner.

    IMHO, the main downside of those two lounge chairs replacing a dinette would be the loss of all that storage space under the dinette seats ... we store a lot of stuff under our dinette seats. (Perhaps special recliners with removable cushions and storage under the seats could be used instead of the standard recliners shown in the photo.)

    Otherwise, two permanent recliners in a small Class C sure looks inviting!

    We saw this floor plan at a CW on the used lot. We looked at it as we have a couch and dinette.In the unit we saw the recliners replaced the couch. They were comfortable and we thought it was a nice floorplan. We like our couch but these would be great for tv watching.

    That looks neat, could replace a jackknife sofa in one of my slides. I have been thinking about replacing the sofa with a desk and Euro recliner, but that piece would work if the recliners fit my short body (most recliners and "easy" chairs are way too large). Any suggestions about who might be making these for Forest River?

    Any more info or feedback on these? DW and I think they would be great in a lot of RVs for us.

    You have to put what you are going to eat in a cup!
    Then place the cup in the cup holder in the chair.
    That's not much food - so you will lose weight!
    And, you can't go back for seconds!!!!!!!!!!!

    Take the table and seats out and replace with 2 recliners. Use TV trays/tables to eat on. You will lose the stowage area.

    Some manufactures offer a dual recliner like that, but it is made of memory foam and transforms into a queen bed. But you don't get the arms rests and cup holders. Pillows and a table would suffice. If you need that extra sleeping accomodation at times, it's an option the OP could inquire about.

    But that picture of the recliners sure does look comfortable.

    I like the idea of the recliners. The only drawback for me is if you have to turn your head much to watch TV. Try at home to sit 90 degrees to your TV, and watch for half an hour or so, and see what your neck feels like after having it turned for a long period of time. Here at my house, we have a sofa that doesn't face the TV, and I can only turn my head for about 15 minutes without getting a stiff neck. The other option is to put your TV on a long arm that can be brought out more in front of you, so that you aren't watching with your neck turned. Just a thought.
