REPLACE FURNITURE IN SLIDE EFFECT ON WARRANTY

[GinJim]

We are interested in replacing a short couch in the slide of our new Thor Axis. Appears there are not tanks, etc underneath. We prefer a reclining love seat to the existing sofa bed. I understand that sometimes the slide is above the floor of the coach, creating a configuration matching issue. Questions:

1. Will changing the furniture affect the warranty on the slide? We have a 7 yr warranty.
2. Is there a 'certified' installer that would guard the warranty?
3. Does the replacement have to be RV furniture?
4. Can I just use Lazy Boy?
5. Some of the reclining love seats we have seen are not comfortable, yet places like camping world who 'special order' say you bought it, you got it. Recommendations for an installer or show room in southern California?
6. Should we ask Thor for recommendations?

In many motor homes.. The couch just sits there, Same as in your living room.

In some "L" brackets hold it to the floor.

Should not affect warranty.. Just do not mention you changed it if you have to file a claim.

If the new furniture is notably heavier than the old, it might be an opening for a 3rd party insurer to deny a claim if the slide mechanism fails.
