I had a north trail that we replaced the couch with lazy boy recliners. they were not wall huggers because they were to big for the unite. our north trail had two slides an the recilners had to be pushed back so they would clear main room slide, they worked great!

Our cats love our couch . . . they've figured out how to get under it and sleep there during the day.
I've thought about replacing ours with recliners, but we like the couch for the extra bed when needed, plus you can't see the TV very well from it since they are basically on the same wall (you can see it behind the laptop in the first shot below and on the left in the second shot), not to mention that the storage space under it is perfect for our Denver Bronco's folding chairs.
Us to went with Lazy boy wall huggers, they make a smaller one that's not so hugh that fits beautifully in our rig, in fact we bought 4 of them, I like the micro fiber fabric over leather, on the rare occasion that we have company we have a blow up mattress for our guests.

We replaced our couch (jack knife sofa bed) with two recliners this winter. We bought them at Lazy boy on a two for the price of one sale. We'll be trying them out for the first time later this month. It couch that came with the 5er was so uncomfortable! I'm looking forward to being comfortable when hanging out in the rv.
This thread is why I joined this forum. I absolutely HATE the couch that comes with the travel trailer. I have a 2014 Heartland Wilderness 2850RB (rear bathroom).
I'm really wanting either recliners or a couch with a foot rest that extends like a normal living room couch. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

Since we were looking for recliners, we had to consider the space required in the recline position as well. Then it became a matter of finding something that was comfortable, to our liking and in our price range that would fit the space. We spent a fair amount of time looking and found a wide selection, many being too large. But, in the end, we found something that works well at Lazy-Boy. It changed our comfort level dramatically.

The Camping World store on I-25 between Longmont and Loveland has RV furniture replacements . . . might have a look there.
Otherwise . . . Furniture Row or American Furniture Warehouse!
