Can anyone tell me if the two theater seating units attach to each other with a mount or bolts to hold them together, or if they just sit beside one another? Thanks
 
ok, this is in my 303 and I'm guessing all are the same. Does yours have the center console with 2 cup holders, and the console can be removed? Thanks for the post.
 
Mark & Midge, everything feels separated (and I guess that's how it has to be so the seating will recline)...but it doesn't move because the entire unit is mounted to the floor. We do have the 2 cup holders.
 
Renee,
Thanks for the information. I've been looking at ours and looks like it's supposed to be permanent mounted with screws to the floor, but I wanted to get another opinion.
Everyone has been very helpful. Great bunch of RVers on here....... :)
 
Each chair is individually mounted to the floor with two wood screws through the front metal rail in my 379FL. I wouldn't call them "permanently mounted" by any means; perhaps tenuously mounted...
 
Too bad many dealers are not stocking the Super Sofa. I wonder who is the manufacturer of the unit?

The dealers close to me have the optional table and chairs, and the SuperSofa would just be another $550 or so extra. To order one with SuperSofa, they're wanting $2K more than the one with the $500 table and chairs. The dollars just don't add up.
 
Our Reflection was standard with the Theatre seating, but for all the love in our marriage, we wanted separate seats! We also wanted an actual table between us. We opted for the Rocker Recliners instead. Our only issue is that they are not wall huggers, and thus must be moved away from the wall for a good recline. When you move them out, they end up sitting half on/half off the slide and get really teetery. I am looking to design a small "slide extension", basically a carpeted piece of wood that can sit up against the slide when parked, and extend the surface area for the chairs to sit on. During travel, it can be placed between the slides in the small space left with the slides in. Would love to hear if anyone else has experienced this same issue, and their fix, if any.

When we picked up our 293 it had the 2 recliners instead of the theater set. My wife wanted the theaters but they said they couldn't do it. I liked the recliners and with only 2 of us , we moved the 2 chairs at the table and that gives us a lot more room. My wife has a hard time falling forward when closing because of the round stand on the bottom. I like your idea of the added flooring. It would of been nice to have had wall huggers. The recliners are nice but is hard to get out of. Our last campers recliners were smaller and not as plush. Let us know how the added floor goes.
 
Thanks,

Theater seating the kind of seating my wife does not like. She would rather have independent seats that can be moved around then secured for travel.

CK,
We had the same issue and contacted GD about it. They said to do as you mentioned, adding a piece of plywood for the chairs to sit on. I didn't feel it was my responsibility to fix their problem and asked to exchange for theater seating. GD said that it wasn't covered under warranty, so I contacted my sales dealer and fortunately their customer service was much better then GD's. They were happy to exchange my recliners for the theater seating. After having the opportunity of using both types of seating, we found the theater seating much more suitable for us.

Thank you. Our Solitude is great. We are heading to Maine next week. That will be a true travel test.
As for the theater seating we originally were going to exchange it for recliners. However after using it for a while, we are no longer in a rush to change them out.
 
We have the 2015 337RLS. I guess we have the theater seating with the removable cup holder in the middle, and that they don't recline??? Tried and tried to get them to recline!!! Just wondering...
