La-Z-Boys

I took out my couch and put in two la-z-boys not hard but you need to check out what is under or behind couch first. The only thing under mine was the solenoid and wires and a cover over, that I took out and painted. I used the ends of the arms of the sofa as a templet and made storage areas with a lift off top a good place to set a drink or the remote. Good camping Rand

It is the perfect do it yourself project. Only tool needed is a Phillips screw driver.

Recliners

The best thing we have ever done to our trailer (I have a bad back). The gaucho was an uncomfortable couch and a more uncomfortable bed. I removed the gaucho and side arms, very simple. There wasn't room for the fold up table with the recliners installed so I removed it alongside with a shelf assembly and cabinet, cut the cabinet in half, and moved everything aft.

I had a couple recliners in a home theater and I just moved those into the trailer. I haven't secured them yet as I plan on replacing the floor. But they don't appear to have moved at all after a few thousand miles. A nice bonus is that the former cabinet is just the right size to store two Airstream folding camp chairs.

Cheers,
John
