    Loveseat replacement

    It finally happened, our original loveseat started to peel.
    We are looking to replace it, but I’d like to keep the reclining function and I really like the cup holder as well.
    60” width is about the max width, according to specs our current is 58”

    Anyone replaced their OEM loveseat? Thanks!

    Sometimes it helps to know which RV you have. That said, our Lambright double-reclining loveseat is due to arrive any time. If you search the forum, you'll find many posts on this topic and people have replaced their RV furniture with everything from RecPro (a very recent thread on that) to furniture from a furniture store. As long as it fits and isn't too heavy, you can use whatever you like. Here's a link to what we're getting:

    We replaced ours with a regular household leather double recliner without a cup holder. We bought it very lightly used, like new off Craigslist for almost nothing. That's always an option if you find the right deal.
    It was under the 60 inch and the back comes off. Even with no back it was a tight squeeze getting it in. But it's comfy and was worth it. If you get a non rv piece be sure to measure both the furniture and the space you have to work with getting it in.

    We have to be 60” max. Our oem loveseat now is 58 according to Thomas Payne.
    We have the 4 chair dinette that we use very frequently
    I’m trying to upload a Live Photo right now from us at the lake this week, says too big forum max 3mb

    We are looking at one from Ashley, 60” and has cup holders that pull out from the front. Pretty much all we can find from the big box stores. I know it sounds silly, but the cup holder is convenient. Especially in these trailers when real estate is a commodity.

    Can you use a photo app to downsize the pic? Or post it using a remote host.

    Which trailer are you in, that may help those responding. To quote one of our favorite moderators "you can create a signature line"
    directions are in post #4 of this thread https://www.mygrandrv.com/forum/show...d-instructions

    I get wanting the cup holder. What we ran into shopping the stores is many were to long only by inches but as you know in the RV even an inch matters. Plus shop carefully, many in the stores are the same bonded leather and will peel in time. Be sure if you plan on keeping the trailer more than a couple years to get either a quality heavy vynil or top grain leather . not bonded leather.

    We went a slightly different route. we too wanted to replace our trifold sofa which was uncomfortable as either a sofa or a bed.

    We chose to find two separate reclining chairs rather than another attached sofa. The chairs we found off amazon (edit think it was COSTCO) if i recall, fit perfectly into the same location as the sofa allowing the slide to close. We need only pull them away from the wall a little once we are set up. Bonus is they are also swiveling chairs too and were around the same price as a sofa.

    I dont have the rig handy to add a pic however.

    We did the same thing with Ekornes Stressless recliners where the sleeper sofa was:
