So if its just one person sleeping on the recliners they just lie down on it like the couch that they are.

Got it. I like the setup. I was considering getting the ones with the divider that has the cup holders, but yours seems a little more feasible. Is the setup comfortable to sleep on?

1) climbing the ladder to go to bed;
2) getting down from the overhang in the middle of the night to use the throne!

That couch in the Outlaws was never a great place to sleep... You basically had your ears right up against the furnace...

Bob I'm 6'4" and really a little to big for the recliner but I can still find a way to nap on them

Well; you sure got a "Fullprice" worth of height!

The center back folds forward and has cup holders in it.

It's very comfortable no matter how you sleep on it LOL.

Well here’s how mine turned out. Via Shop4seats. The center console has storage. When you flip up the center back,reading lights appear. Has both usb and 120 vac plugs in storage area. Swivel tray tables fit in the arms. Seatbelts are useable. 4 self tapping 3/8 SS screws into the slide steel frame. Only 4 “ from wall. When recline the backs go down a little under the side window valance. I’m pleased.

Make sure you check under the couch seats. In my rig the floor is not flat and has a raised section from the compartment underneath. You cannot replace the couch with recliners.

That's why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I still don't get how you can bolt recliners with a 36" base to a slide-out floor that only moves 18". You must have to construct some sort of stand-off. My rig's in storage right now, so it'll be spring before I look into it in depth. In the meantime, I wrote to Thor to get some dimensions regarding the overall movement of the slide-out, and how much space I have between the interior wall of the slide-out and, say, the wall where the fridge is. No sense in installing something that I can't extend fully!
