Anybody out there replace the jackknife couch out of an Outlaw 29h with dual recliners? I'm looking for dimensions from the extended slide wall to the refrigerator. Want to buy RecPro recliners, but I cannot for the life of me connect with anyone who can tell me whether they'll fit or not. Length is not a problem, as the opening is 72" where the couch is now. I'm just worried that I won't be able to extend the leg rests out completely. The rig is in storage currently, and I can't get at it to measure from the wall that is the slideout to the opposite side where the fridge is. Please help me with this dilemma!

I can’t help you as I don’t have your model. I’d think maybe that one of the RV furniture retailers could fix you up as I’m quite certain they’ve done your model more than once.

Boy, Pete, I wish that were true. Nobody I talked to at either of the retail furniture places would commit to whether their product would fit in my rig. When I tried to contact Thor regarding the floor plan, they sent me one that I did not have the dimensions I was looking for. I'm that frustrated right now I don't know what my next move will be.

Bring a tape measure to a local dealer that happens to have one in stock? (Since you can't get to yours)

I had an "H".
The couch occupies a "normal" amount of space for RV couches. If you buy RV recliners: you'll be fine.
You won't be able to extend them fully without opening up the slide. But you couldn't do that with the couch either.

Thanks, Bob. I'm gonna go for it.

Soooo...... not doing your monthly maintenance on the generator? Why is it you can't access your rig in storage?

I wanted to replace the jack knife sofa in my Thor Gemini which does not have it in a slide. I looked at RecPro, probably the same one as you, and instead went to Lambright furniture that I selected the components from. Worked with Bradd and Hall doing this. Without the slide we can fully extend the recliners that we got. Only issue is when you want to walk past the person needs to pull in the recliner part. Comfortable, well made by the Amish in the USA and it works in our small coach.

We have a 2018 Thor Windsport 29m with a couch/bed and before we drove it home I got a twin electric recliner with massage, heat and thought it would fit, NO PROBLEM. The day I took out the couch and brought the recliner in and set it on the platform I realized it needed to be extended about 4 inches to avoid hitting the window cranks????? What to do??????

After some thinking I went to Lowe's and got some angle iron, fashioned a support frame that extended about 4 or 5 inches. After some cutting to make the frame flush and securing it to the base, I had a way to set the feet in the angle iron base and it works perfectly. Does not protrude too far out and all I have done so far is pull tie the front part of the chairs to the base. Need to secure it better but it's heavy so I'm not too concerned. If you can use a tape measurer, A hack saw, a drill and have a good imagination you can make it work!!! Bob Trice PS; If I can figure out how to attach a damn photo for this I'll send one but not for 2 weeks at least, we're heading to the Keys tonight!!!

We were looking at Lambright's 50" tecliners foir our rig; but ended up ordering the OEM version through our Dealership. (They were an option for our rig in 2020...)
