One reason we bought the coach we did is my "must have" was a sofa (the wife's must have was a slide out).

Unfortunately though, our sofa is very uncomfortable. So (at least for now) we found a chaise lounge cushion that was just about a perfect fit for the sofa.

At least now it is tolerable to sit in.

I think in the future I may replace the sofa with a nicer one. We'd like to retain the "jackknife" style as it allows for under-sofa storage, as well as it provides a slot for the seat belts.

There is a RV surplus place in Elkhart, Indiana about an hour's drive or so from where I live that has some RV furniture. Perhaps we might find one there one day that is more comfortable than ours.

I have an Aunt and Uncle that are full-time RV'ers and have a Fleetwood Bounder Class A.

They removed their entire dinette and then when they deploy their slide out (their dinette was in the slide out), they put a residential sofa cross-wise (so you are facing forward towards the front of the coach when sitting).

It takes a bit of man-handling to move the sofa each time you deploy the slide out, as well; it is really cramped inside when the slide out is in... but it seems so roomy when they extend the slideout and sofa.

Since they are full-timers, they stay in one spot for 1~2 months between moves, so I suppose having to move the sofa is not a big task if you only do it a few times a year.

And they use snack trays when they eat instead of a dinette.
