Changing sofa bed and dinette

[Maxie]

I have a Thor Class A Ace 30.1. I hate the sofa and dinette seating. Isn't comfortable. Would like recliners, but also need the pull out bed. Any ideas how to get what I want?

You did not specify the price, but Recpro, Camping World, and shop 4 seats have entry level furniture. The upper end will be Villa International. Most any RV place can install then for you. The way cheapest is to drive the coach to Elkhart and have one of the coach modifiers like Brad & Hall do the work to your specifications. They have a wonderful selection on new coach takeouts at about 1/2 the price of new.

Where is Elkhart?

[Maxie]

Don't want entry level. That's what we have. Ugh

[Maxie]

We live in Florida. Anywhere near there that does same thing?

Where you coach was manufactured in Thor MC plant 750, Elkhart, IN. Elkhart is a city in Elkhart County, Indiana, United States. The city is located 15 miles east of South Bend, Indiana, 110 miles east of Chicago, Illinois, and 150 miles north of Indianapolis, Indiana.

We installed RecPro ourselves. Very pleased with them.

Is RecPro an entry level furniture

Not sure, but meets our needs so far. If you are a full timer and can afford the high end, go for it.

I also have RecPro recliners but most of it is made in China at the same factory that makes LCI's upholstered furniture (Thor's major supplier). I consider it entry level especially when compared to Villa International. Anyway I left out Flexsteel's RV line of medium priced RV furniture.

We are taking out the 68” jacknife sofa and are replacing it with 2 recliners and a center console with storage drawer. The furniture was found on shop4seats.com. The new unit combined will be 64”. Needs 4” from wall which will work perfectly. Not sure why some on this thread need “professional “ installation. The only thing holding the existing sofa down are 4 screws into the floor. The existing seat belts will stay attached and feed up through the new seats. We’ll lose some of the storage under the sofa but will make some of it up with the console drawer. We ordered furniture on 9/15. Ship date will be around 12/1. They sent us swaths of fabric. Colors will be very close. I’ll post pics later when finished.

Some of use use "professional services" because after 30 years of carrying a 20 lb parachute on my back for 12 hours at a time my back is not what it was in the 1960's. It still works ok, but I am not willing to risk it after 82 years. I also don't carry roof A/C up the ladder anymore.

Sorry. I understand. I’ll recruit teens in neighborhood to do the heavy lifting.
