Interesting how the old saying works here: different strokes for different folks.

Our 5er came with recliners and we had the dealer remove them for a pull out sofa. We wanted the extra sleeping space for grandkids or friends.

I recently replaced the sofa in my Open Range Lite 216 RBS with 2 European style recliners covered in durable cloth and not faux leather which will not hold up.

Just disassemble the sofa and it goes right out the door!
