Theater seating and sofas
We just got word that our new TT is coming off the production line in a few weeks. We had ordered theater seating but apparently they can't install it because it won't fit. The dealer didn't elabora...

All of the wall-hugger ones that I saw on the internet were around 39-39.5". If it was 37", it *might" work. The problem is not when it's in the fully reclined position, it's when it's retracted. We don't have a problem when the slide is in, it's when the slide is out and it's in reclined position, it would protrude too much into the circulation space.
Spree 262RKS For 2014, they squared off the bathroom wall. In the 2013, they had an angled wall which might have made it more possible to have up to 39" in depth.
If we could find something, we'd have to delete the sofa and would be faced with getting it into the trailer. I'm not sure if these things can be partially dismantled easily or not.
You're right about RV stuff being overpriced. At least not as bad as boating stuff. For example, Marinco shore power stuff is like double the price in a marine store... On the other hand, we're a little leery about lower priced furniture. Our home theater seating that's about 3 years old has genuine simulated leather and a lot of the outer coating (or whatever you'd call it) is wearing right off. It looked great in the showroom and the price was too good to pass up.... :(

You need to look for the 'Zero clearance-Wall hugger type sofas. I have been looking for one as well. I have 37" of clearance for the slide when it comes in. Also only 67" for width. If you go to some furniture stores and talk to the sales people you'll find more available than CW. IIRC Ashleys and Laz Y Boy don't have wall hugger type in theater seating. We found some really nice love seat sofas at a store near us that sells ElRan furniture out of Canada. They can take components and mix and match what you need. All were under the 37" we need and all were wall huggers. When you recline the back doesn't go back towards the wall. It will only go back when you full recline and it's about 8" more. My price was around $1200.00 for a love seat without the center console. I don't have enough room for one. Very nice quality. Overkill for the weekend camper. Shop around some. I find RV specific furniture way over priced. FWIW the sofa I mention comes shipped in two pieces so install would be easy. I think most chairs are probably shipped that way to save space.
