Still looking-but question?

[xxjanaleexx]

I am deciding on an older small class c right now,but because of my chronic severe back problems I will need something comfortable to sit on evenings for tv and plain relaxation. I would like to remove the standard bolted down swivel chair and replace with something moveable and more comfy...it's a small 24' unit..chair won't be used for riding in!!..any suggestions? How do you remove them but leave it useable for replacement for resale? Won't be traveling except to local parks..15 mi..so I can secure it for those short trips. Janalee

sorry its been a while xxanaleexx. the air chair recliner is just a fancy beach/out door type chair that is well made and very comfortable. The seat portion is laced to the frame so there's no frame contact with the seat at all. I have a 78 Travelcrafter that I don't want to alter as it is in extremely good condition and the chair fits in the space between the drive and passenger seat.I got mine at Dunhams.Good luck on you M.H. purchase.

Well..this Sunday we will test drive and check over the '89 Jamboree. A newer,slightly bigger one has recently become available at a dealer..but..I think I will be quite happy with the smaller,older unit which I have discussed at length with the owner and have committed to buying if all checks out well. We are each driving about an hour to meet halfway,which I appreciated given my health/pain limitations..there's no way I could make a 5 hour roundtrip drive. I am really looking forward to a winter redecorating project! The PO has painted all the wood areas white,which I would like to do if I were able, so the biggest part of decorating it has begun! Now begins my worry..hoping it is mechanically sound..Will let you guys know when I know!! Check back on Monday..lol! Janalee

WE have 2 of the Lambright recliners. Could not be happier with them. Got rid of a barrel chair and 64" couch. We spend up to 6 months in our MH each year.
Here is another supplier of Lambright Chairs. Bradd & Hall.
We purchased ours at the Lambright factory.

If you order a 3rd seat from a supplier like I did HERE, be sure to request the threaded mounting posts the same distance apart as the seat you removed which I think will measure 8" on center, not the standard 11" on center like the seats up front. If buying a used seat with different centers, you will need to fabricate an adapter plate, a simple project for a handyman.

We ordered our new Phoenix Cruiser 2350 back in 2007 which came with a 3rd seat that was very uncomfortable. It was called a barrel chair. It had a low back and very skinny armrests. It did not recline but was mounted on a pedestal that swiveled and moved forward/backward.

I replaced that terrible seat with a 3rd matching captain seat, one identical to the two front seats as seen here. It is very easy on the back and is very comfortable. It has a manual lumbar support knob for adjustment, nice for back troubles.

The seats were easily interchangeable, done in less than 15 minutes, re-using the pedestal base portion. The seat belt is mounted to the pedestal so there was no messing around with it. With the seat belt and being bolted to the floor, that 3rd seat is safe for a 3rd passenger.





I would rather have ours over the current day free-standing Euro chair shown below that requires clamping to the floor when moving the motor home. But people "Love" their reclining Euro chair, so each to his own.

Travelcrafter..not sure what you are describing..bear in mind my moho will be a very small one..and not a widebody like newer ones. Maybe you have a picture or link?

XXjannaleexx I'm in the same boat as you as far as a bad back and have been thinking of just putting my air chair recliner in my coach. It folds nearly flat and it works easily and more importantly comfortably. It also locks in position.

[xxjanaleexx]

Yes..I see your point Dusty--flying objects..I am thinking about an office type chair..wheels and maybe will lean back a bit. They r made for comfort too!

I would still anchor the new chair down so it can't move especially if you should stop quick.
