Time to replace our theater seats/recliners on our 382-WBR Solitude. We wanted to replace with a reputable brand such as Flexsteel, Lazy Boy, … however, our space is limited to 60” (maybe squeeze a little more) X 40” when the slides are in. We are wanting to replace with a love seat style, but have not yet been able to find anything that fits. Any advice would greatly appreciated. Maybe a good quality RV furniture brand that could be ordered on line. We are hesitant to purchase without being able to physically check out, but might consider with a good referral. Thanks in advance!
 
Look at Lambright - really top notch:

We have the Lambright Harrison in our Solitude. We ordered them with the low back, powered, with the controls on the outside of the arms. Absolutely love them!

Those look very nice, do they have a showroom somewhere to try them out?

Edit: dug deeper on the website and found they are in Elkhart and have showroom hours MTWF

Might head that way and try them out when it is time

Correct. Since almost everything from Lambright is custom ordered, don't expect to see exactly what you want in the showroom - but the samples will give you a good idea of the quality and comfort.

Thanks. What color and fabric did you choose? We were thinking about the dark brown to match cabinetry or the lighter Thomas Payne off white by to match the couch that we are not replacing.

We had already removed the sleeper sofa and had two Ekornes Stressless recliners in its place. We ordered the Lamright Harrison double reclining loveseat in a tan Ultraleather to match the Ekornes recliners.

We replaced our Thomas Payne double recliners with ones from Shop4Seats.com (RV Furniture, Truck Seats, Van Seats, and more! - Shop4Seats.com). A little pricey but seem to be much better quality. My wife wanted ones where the center console would fold up flat for additional seating and these were the only ones that did that.

We also looked at Brad and Hall, RecPro and Coachnet Supply. I think Brad and Hall had what we wanted but the lead time was something like 4 months.
 
We had damage to one of the Thomas Payne recliners and wondering about the “best way” to get them out and a replacement unit in. Did you all remove a window? The door is obviously no where big enough.

The Thomas Payne recliners come apart for off loading. Each chair disconnects from the center console, and the backs come off. That said, when we took our out of the rig, we separated the chair sections from the center console section and turned them on their side to take them through the door.
 
We have just replaced our Thomas Paynes in our 295RL and bought Valencia Syracuse leather residential theatre recliners that are powered and fully recline. They have a port where you can plug in phone etc if needed, and blue LED lighting that matches the other accent lighting. There is no heat or massage but we did not use those functions at all.
They have no console but tables come as an accessory. There was no issue getting them through the door to assemble.
Because they are less in width we have gained seating space for the dining table without compromising comfort in the chairs. The remotes are now stored when not in use in the dining table drawer rather than the console. They work very well for us and look great.

We replaced ours with the RecPro Charles 58" in Ultrafabrics Brisa. Love the feel of the fabric and they are really comfy. Service was great ordering them online. We did order samples of the fabrics before ordering. Colors look much different than the colors on the screen. The only thing I miss from the original TP one is the rotating tabletop so hubby made me a stand that he attached to the slide floor and holds the one from the TP recliners. We've had for about 1.5 years now and still look new even though they've been cross country and back twice.
