Ugly, Uncomfortable Furniture is OUT

[Dan_Frisbie]

We replaced the dinette and the sleeper sofa with a table and chairs from an unfinished furniture store and a small loveseat from Rooms to Go.
The dinette was easily disassembled and removed and is for sale.
The sleeper sofa was not quite as compliant in being removed. It’s a mess.

Great upgrades. Enjoy.

Nice replacements. Did you secure them to the floor?

Nice replacements. Did you secure them to the floor?

The table is secured to the wall, nothing on the chairs.
The old sleeper sofa was secured by two .25 x 2 inch “L” brackets and never moved. Those two brackets did nothing, so I’m not worried about the new loveseat.

Beautiful and very stylish.

Did you redo your slide floor?

Did you redo your slide floor?

Not sure what you mean...
The slide floor has the same vinyl that the rest of the floor has. I do need to replace some trim...

 

[Boat Bum]

I've only ever seen carpet on slide outs so I thought you may have replaced it; I like the vinyl better.

Yep, swapping out RV furniture seems to be more common than not. Glad you are happy with your changes and it does look nice.

My bride and I made a similar change after spending 8 months in the camper following hurricane Michael. Kept the old stuff for almost a year for anyone needing them. Finally a very happy trip to the local dump ended the storage problem.

We changed out the furniture in our last two rigs, one a trailer and now the current motorhome. The trailer before the last one was a Casita, so not many changes could be made to the fiberglass egg, though Kevin did modify the bed platform even then. The last trailer got a horrid trifold sofa bed removed and a couple of recliners moved in. In the motorhome, we removed a recliner and one waaaaayyyyy oversized sleeper sofa. They were replaced with two very comfy recliners and a much more reasonably sized sleeper sofa. We had cabinetry modified too. I don’t know why more people don’t modify their rigs. You wouldn’t expect a house you purchase to have the same furniture in it during its lifetime.

Nicely done!

I do not want to hijack this thread and I do like the OP's upgrade.

Here is what I did in January,

As part of the replacement of the Class C that burned in Quartzsite, I stopped at the RV accessory store in Parker on the way to Q last month. I found a side by side recliner to replace the Jack Knife sofa.

I gave the sofa to the fellows at the RV and boat dealer next door and they put it in their work lounge.

It has heat, massage, and USB outlets.

I sold the old dinette on FB marketplace for a couple of bucks.
The sleeper sofa had to come out in pieces, so it went right to the dumpster…

The replacements are working perfectly after 6 months and a few trips…

The Jack knife sofa came out very easily thru the door.

My furniture in the house has seen a number of moves in its lifetime, much of it came from..... pay close attention....... my dad's father's mother's father. That translates into a Great great grandfather (who was a medical doctor). Some dates to the 1870's, some of it around the turn of the century (1900), though I do have some stuff that dates to the mid 20th century. Its all been in the family since new.
