2013 Thor Challenger 36FD

Has anyone replaced the couch sleeper in the 2013 Thor Challenger 36FD with a RecPro recliner. How did you overcome the lack of depth of the slide when installing the recliner.

We did. I installed two 24"x24"x 3/4" pieces of plywood on the slide base and extended them over the edge just far enough to hold the recliners. This is on a 2016 Challenger.

How did you fasten the plywood to the slide floor? Bolt through the slide floor or screws? Thanks for replying.

Recliner

I used SS screws to attach plywood. I didn't want to go through the slide floor.

Also, painted them flat black before installing.
