Replacing Couch
We have a 2015 ACE 30.1 and are considering replacing the couch with 2 recliners. How hard is it to do? Is the couch bolted to the floor? We're handy, but don't want to run into any surprises.
Thanks.

Replacing couch
Not sure what type of couch you have but we replaced ours in our 2013 Tuscany. The couch was one that when rooms were extended it had a slide out that made it into an L shape. Likewise it was bolted to the floor. That just required us to un bolt it. The couch its self came apart into 3 pieces for removal. Pretty simple but it did take two of us to get the pieces out since they were pretty heavy. We replaced ours with a Lazyboy love seat recliner.

There are several threads on the Forum where people have replaced couches and dinettes with recliners, but I am not sure if any were specific to your particular coach. Try searching the Forum for "recliner" and see what pops up. if no help, then maybe someone that is familiar with it might post here. Good luck!!

Ahhh ... thanks!
We were at the big RV show in Quartzsite this weekend and didn't see much out there furniture-wise. But in looking around on this forum we might go look at some non-RV specific furniture.
If & when we do something I'll post some pictures.

Replacing couch
The Lazy boy love seat completely disassembles into several pieces for easy entrance through the door. The backs lift off. Seats unbolt from 2 rails on the bottom and the center storage/armrest un bolts also. I think in total it breaks down into 7 pieces. Very easy and much lighter than the original l shape couch.

Please be sure to bolt everything down securely. In case of an accident you don't want a large heavy object coming to visit up front.

It did for us. I don't have a Vegas we have a Tuscany. The pieces fit through our door with plenty of room. The bottom is held together by 2 rails. The seats and the backs separate by pulling up on the backs. The center arm rest/storage bolts to the rails. When all taken apart it is in 7 pieces. There may be other manufactures out there that also do the same we just felt we liked the Lazyboy better. The one we got is a wall hugger/power recliner model. It is slightly smaller in width with about 6" on one side. No big deal for us since it allows for storage for 2 TV trays.
