Did that recliner couch come in sections so that it can be brought in through the door or was it one piece?
I'm planning on replacing the crappy couch in my 27.2 with recliners and my wife wants the couch option.
Did you use your original seat belts? and If so, I assume the slots are there in the couch to bring them through?

This piece comes from Shop4Seats and is called Qualitex Monaco Double Recliner Sofa. I highly suggest selecting the power option. Originaly, I ordered the manual recliners but had some major issues with folding/unfolding mechanism. After several calls and few unsuccessful attempts to eliminate the problem Shop4Seats graciously replaced the manual set with the electrical one... free of charge. The new sofa is great.

Yes, the double recliner comes in 5 sections. 1 Left & 1 right seat, 2 backs and the center console. All pieces need to be brought in and assembled inside your coach otherwise they will not go thru the door.

Yes, the old seatbelts will nicely go through the openings between the seats and the backs.

Thank you. I'm looking at the exact recliner sofa that you mentioned.
I was debating on the electric option but after reading what you posted above, I think that I'll go with the electric option.
Thanks on the seat belt info too.

We bought RecPro theater seating. They are nice and comfy. Reupholstered captains chairs and custom built thingy over dog house with more insulation underneath. Theater seating is wall huggers so you can really lean back and watch tv

We also installed RecPro with manual recline. After removing the miserable jackknife sofa, I carpeted the slide and installed the recliners with center section.

We picked RecPro as one of the only options offering cloth upholstery. They are very comfortable and well padded. Quality is good, but you won't mistake it for Ethan Allen!

It was a relatively easy install. The backs of the recliners are removable and everything fits easily through the Vegas door. Huge improvement in comfort!

I have an ACE 27.2. Removed the couch and replaced with two movable recliners from Camping world. ~ $600. Work great.

The 2020 Vegas comes with a BMPRO that controls the fans, slide, generator, water pump, lights and A/C from a phone app. We love it.

10 minute project.

I've also posted how to get the TV off of the over the door mount and links to the tilt swivel pullout TV mount I put there.
I'm not exactly happy with the mount, I have to fiddle with it too much. But it think any mount with three way adjustment will be the same.

Did you have to add to the front of the slide to get the seats to fit?

I did not do the install but did check in on them from time to time (shop4seats also said that they needed to ship it to somewhere with a forklift to get it out of the truck).

Nope they fit right in with no modifications.

Okay, adding RecPro 67"recliner and satellite on 11/4, the work will be done by Redlands Truck and RV. I've worked with them in the past and they do excellent work. Tried to get shop4seats but they were 4 months out and we didn't want to wait. Got them from Amazon in a week. The couch in the coach is awful and has to go. We rarely go out in the evening so it's reading or music or the TV.

Sho4Seats makes good stuff but waiting for new furniture 4 months is too long. When I ordered my theater double recliner and 2 pilot chairs in January of 2020 I had to wait 2 months. I guess they are busy and doing good business.

Redlands Truck and RV put in our Shop 4 Seats theatre seating with our previous 24.1 Axis. Worth all the effort.

Are you going with DISH for your satellite package?
We love our Winegard Dome set-up with Wally and hard drive
Of course, we’d love a $1500 Traveler + Hopper 3
But waiting for our final final final 40’ Tiffin DP years from now.

Keep us posted on your results once everything is installed.

Yes on Dish we had it our last two coaches and since we have dish at home it's about $7 a month extra, so worth it.
