Looking to convert a sleeper couch into a twin love seat wall hugger recliners - Problem

I want to convert the slide out sleeper couch into a twin love seat wall hugger recliners - Problem is the slide out gears are under the couch and a normal RV recliners will not fit over the box protecting the gears. Do they make a modified recliner for the slide out. 62" wide area. If anyone has done this or know where I could find this please let me know. Thanks

The travel trailer is a pull behind 2008 Pilgrim Elite 1500 series 25PRK (28 ft)

    can you build a platform to allow the new recliners? It may not have to be as big as the box protecting the gears. It just needs to be tall enough that the recliner can span the box.

      Then the recliners will be 8 inches taller than normal. The box is about 8 x 8 inches and extends the length of the couch underneath. so the recliner hardware for extending the legs would be in the way.  If I did make a platform over the box, this would put the recliners 8-10 inches taller than normal.   I just wondered if there were any recliners that are made for this situation.
