Plugging in the Thomas Paine recliners
2017 Imagine 2670 MK.
The recliners use big step down plugs to power the lights/heat. They plug into a wall outlet behind the recliners, near the floor. Of course over the miles they have fallen out of the socket. Not a big deal, but on this current trip it would be nice to turn on the in-seat heat. But I can see no possible way to plug them in again. Little clearance to get to it from the top/back. Too far from the wall, and access is blocked anyway, to crawl under to get to the outlet that way.
Is there an easy way to remove a back or other part of the recliners to be able to accomplish the task? Or am I faced with trying to unbolt them from the floor?2017 Imagine 2670MK

Same with mine. 2 short Phillips head drywall screws barely attaching the seats to the slide floor. Raise the foot rests, lie on the ground and feel for the screw heads on the front rail. They came out very easily.
Then the recliners can be pulled forward as a single unit.Last edited by Jerryr; 11-07-2021 at 06:48 AM.

The backs of the recliners do remove just like low-end residential ones - not a lever to separate the hinge but push buttons. You need someone to pull up on the back while you push in the buttons/tabs. When you plug it back in, spread the prongs on the plugs a bit for a snugger fit into the receptacle.

$1K retail is not much for a residential recliner. The average imported furniture is marked up 43-47% over build and freight cost. I have family that own a now 83 year-old furniture store. If the hinge on a recliner is made from stamped/folded sheet, it's considered low-end. Fabricated hinges are only found on the high-end.
Nothing at all about RV furniture in mass-produced campers is high-end... If you buy from one of the two premium furniture makers for RVs, you know the difference from feel, build, and extreme impact to your wallet.. Alas, this went sideways from the OP's ask.Rob & Nikki + Cloverfield

I was able to reach the plugs by reclining the chair and reaching down between the chairs.

We have the same setup, 2670MK with recliners. I got tired of plugging them in and now use a power strip with a flush mount plug and plugged each brick into the power strip. Not had an issue in last 15 trips. Hope it helps.
