Vinyl furniture

[Sjurb7]

2018 Reflexion vinyl furniture is peeling and wearing away. Anyone have any suggestions? Can furniture be removed and replaced or reupholstered with fabric. How do you get it out of your RV? Help.

Are you talking about the theater seating/sofa? That's a known issue.

Lots of threads about this:

The OEM Lippert furniture is not vinyl - it's bonded leather. I wouldn't spend money having anything made by Lippert reupholstered, though. Most folks who replace furniture go find whatever suits their purposes that will fit in the door. All the OEM furniture comes apart and fits out the door. We replaced the sleeper sofa with two Ekornes Stressless recliners. My wife would LOVE to replace her theater seats with the small Ekornes sofa we have in storage, but it's not a fit for that space. As @livinthelife said, use the search function and you'll find many threads on this topic.

BTW - it's "Reflection."

The seat backs come off. Most all recliners backs come off. They're made that way for transport. You can stack many more in a freight car or cargo van that way.
Stay away from RV furniture. Go to your local better quality furniture stores and shop around.

Good info from goducks and second chance. I'm replacing my couch now. Not from peeling just from "comfort" aspect. The couch was in 3 parts (only 4 screws and 4 cotter pins) and out the door it went. I gave away one of my Thomas Payne theatre seats just for more space. It was easy to pull the back up and out it and the base went to Goodwill. There is much better and more comfortable furniture out on the non RV market. Just make sure of your dimensions.

Thank you. Our Reflexion is only used 4 months of the year and this is the second year. How does this company stay in business?

I feel your Payne. I have a 2017 model that is peeling like crazy. Still trying decide what I am going to replace it with.

I simply can’t believe a company like this can stay in business and continue to produce inferior products.

They stay in business because every RV manufacturer (or damn near every one) buys their crap.

They don't care about aftermarket. It's all about supporting the manufacturer with cheap product.

Although I will say, I did buy a Thomas Payne set, before I knew of this issue, and it was really nice, very comfortable, wasn't pleather or bonded leather or whatever. It wouldn't fit in my Reflection when I upgraded so I sold it with the travel trailer. Wish I still had that furniture. It was definitely nice. And it is now discontinued.

We have not had the issue with the Transcend Xolor furniture. We did replace both the couch and loeseat in a Rockwood with Southern Motion Avalon series. Made in the USA and so far worked out great. You do need to be careful with dimensions and keep in mind the slides. Local furniture store removed and disposed of the old and installed the new. Pricing was simular to Recpro internet pricing with no install and disposal so agree with going with a local furniture store.
