Furniture / georgetown 378ts xl 2012
We took the air mattress bed and euro chair out. Not comfortable
We want 2 recliners...
Has anyone done this and what brand did you find to fit within the slide outs
Got most of my 40 other issues taken care of
Thanks everyone
Headed out today for a couple of weeks to take advantage of this beautiful weather

We, too, are concerned about the air bed. Our couch pulls out into a bed with an air mattress. We do have to recliners across from the couch. We would like to replace the current couch with one that flips out with a regular mattress, but, they would have to be similar weight. You have a motor home, which is different. Good luck in your quest.

Our air mattress will only hold air about 2 hours. When the little ones come ... They Sleep with me...grandpa has a long night airing up his bed every 2 hours,... But the little ones giggle a lot!

We replaced our couch and ero reclinder With two leather reclinders at the international rally at westside furniture in Goshen, Indiana. Ron measured and selected the closest one to my decor. It is not the top of the line and a little small for Ron but we use a footstool for his longlegs. and he can take his naps just fine. We figure that if we need to we can put a auto blow up bed if we need it. Its just us and 4 dogs so all is good. We
have a2011 Georgtown 378 XL We love it and also put daynight shades on the large window with just a drape on it and kept the drapes pulled back and it looks great. Forest River did all of this for us at the rally I think Forest River made all of the attendies forever Forest River fans.

For some reason my couch in my 2012 XL 378TS is not an air mattress but an actual hide-a-bed with a real mattress. Wonder if this was an upgrade or something?
Here is a picture of mine and you can tell the difference by the tubing used on the cushions. My DW wanted this one instead of the air matress one in the other Georgetown so I had to change my exterior color because of her wanting this couch.
Actually it is very comfortable but it still has the fake leatherette

We found this company while we were at the rally in Goshen.
Lambright Comfort Chairs, LLC in Topeka, IN. 260-768-4820.
They are an Amish company and will custom build chairs and or sofas that fit in RV's and I think their price includes installation. We like one that is a sofa with 2 reclining positions and basically hugs the wall. Haven't bought yet but are considering. The thing we are struggling with is the height Vs. the windows in the coach.
Since they are Amish, they don't seem to have a website.

We have just attended the Hershey, PA RV Show and are in the process of purchasing the Georgetown 378 XL. It appears you have one and we are wondering how you like the RV? Any issues, are you happy with the product, would you purchase a different RV Line vs. the Georgetown? We have seen a number of negative comments on the forum and are concerned. Any comments would be welcome.
Thank you,
Uncle AL

Uncle Al to the forums. We were at Hershey yesterday and ventured through the Georgetowns and most of the other Class A coaches. We purchased our coach in 2006 at Hershey from Mark Didich with Boat n RV. We ran into him yesterday as well. Not sure if he's the rep you're working with but he was really great. As for the complaints about the Georgetowns. It doesn't matter if you spend 100k or 900k every manufacturer out there has some type of issue with their coach. Remember this will be riding down the road, bouncing and rocking etc. If you compare what you get for the price, the Georgetown coaches offer more for your dollar vs. some of the better known brands. I've had a couple issues along the way but still love the 370. We loved the 378 layout and would have bought one back in 2006 but at the time we had 3 teenage daughters still traveling with us. A Bath & a Half made the most sense then. Whatever your decision, best to you and yours, enjoy it, be safe and always

Furniture Replacement
We have a 2008 Georgetown 378TS and really didn't need the couch/bed that came with the unit. We decided to replace the chair and couch with a pair of swivel/recliner/rockers in black leather. They are bolted to the slide and ride without any problem. The recliner lever is situated on the inside of the chair near the right seat cushion so activating it does not require having additional clearance to allow for an external handle. The chairs have adjustable headrests and if we remove the travel bolts they will extend almost flat to provide a single sleeping arrangement. The rocking function can be turned on and off so that they do not rock while traveling. I have a locking pin arrangement that will be installed shortly to keep the chair from swiveling while moving and have installed the seat belts on the slide floor so they can be used by any additional travelers.
The chairs were purchased at Urban Barn and are manufactured by IMG Norway. Home - :. IMG - Norway .: if anyone is looking for a local retailer. These chairs are not cheap and are extremely well built. I will attempt to download a couple of photos.

Nice chairs and arrangement. So did they make the chairs for you or did they have a show room that you visited?

The chairs were in a showroom as they are essentially house furniture.
