Recliner Love seat

As most of us know the original furniture in TT is not very comfortable. We have searched the markets online and in local stores. We were limited to 66 inch maximum width. We finally found one online and were wondering if anyone has any experience with the love seat and/or the supplier.
It is a RecPro Charles 58 Inch double recliner. Comes in fabric and leather look cover. Two pieces to make getting it in the TT easier and stated at 166 lbs. Priced at less than $1000.00 with free delivery.
I know, I know, I will get everything from go buy a Lazy Boy to who knows what. Been there, done that as far as checking them out. All exceed the 66 inch width area I have available.
Any personal experience comments on this seat will be appreciated. And viable recommendations are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

We replace ours with the same couch in leather.

Had taken out the jack knife a while back and put in some euro chairs.

We had enough room that we ordered the center console after we verified once the recliners were in.

Best change we have made since we bought the rv.

Very comfortable and we still had enough room in our 3051 to walk back even when the slide is in.

As far as we are concerned it was with every penny.

That is smart. I had no room to transport mine home, or anyplace to store it. I did not expect to trade so soon. Will lose big time on this and all my recent additions. But e Rey coin has two sides.

Someone is going to get a wonderful coach with lots of brand new stuff. Hope they enjoy it.

Hopefully, I will enjoy the new one more.

I replaced ours with recpro theater seating like gumpsters, but in the new cloth upholstery. It was easy to install and a great upgrade. Highly recommended

Hello

We purchased the Rec Pro Charles recliner this past spring. Best improvement we made in our Sunseeker.
We are storing the old Jack knife sofa in our basement.

This is very timely as we're looking to replace our jackknife with a RecPro.

I'm sure the OP does and I know I appreciate all the posts.

The OP, (me) definitely appreciates the feed back. The DW and I have decided, order one this coming week. Still some good camping days ahead this year into January. Thanks to all who commented with real experience.

I’ll probably have to upgrade from the crappy Lippert loveseat recliner. This first one only lasted 35 days and soon to be replaced under warranty. I don’t expect the new one to last any longer.

Sure glad we didn't have to deal with a jack-knife sofa!

Just replaced our hide a bed couch with a Rec pro. Haven't had it long but it feels good and seems well built.

The repair facility we were working with was impressed enough to sign on as a Rec pro dealer.
