RV Renovation! Replacing Our Motorhome Couch with RecPro Furniture

It's time for some new RV furniture! The couch in our 2016 Fleetwood Bounder 36E is peeling really badly, and it's terribly uncomfortable to boot - so we just HAD to replace it. After a couple months of searching we decided to go with a RecPro Charles 80" Triple RV Wall Hugger Recliner Sofa with Drop Down Console. It is an amazing upgrade and we couldn't be happier! We can't recommend the add-on cup holders though...
We also share a few more thoughts on Matt's RV Reviews, buying a used RV, and give a full review on our new RecPro couch.

Situational Adventures some people are clueless when it comes to buying used-RVs, cars, houses etc. Stuff breaks or just doesn’t fit a person’s life or likes and needs to be replaced. Now if the engine conked out & the problem should’ve been caught when being checked out by the dealership, then go back to the dealer if it’s a big ticket to fix.

@ckitcrider5906 2 года назад

We just did the exact same thing. Took out an extremely uncomfortable love seat hide-a-bed as well as one side of bench seat dinette. (replaced bench w/folding chair)... Both came new in our 2019 Catalina. We replaced sofa with: RecPro Charles collection, 30" zero wall RV recliner, wall hugger, RV living (slideout) chairs. Cloth Oatmeal. These are nice chairs, easy install, came thru our doorway w/o having to remove door, screen door either. 24.5" opening. So much nicer, made huge difference in space as well.

Same thing we did with ours guys. We have a 2015 Newmar Baystar and even though ours wasn’t peeling like that we had that same style sofa that was uncomfortable and absolutely worthless!!! Our Recpro doesn’t have that center recliner but has a console instead with the lighted permanent cup holders with USB ports. But it’s comfortable and a breeze to install. Highly recommend it!!

@Five2Go 3 года назад

We were originally looking at the two recliner version with the center console, but we had an 80" space to fill and those topped out around 70" or so I think. This guy fills the space nicely!

@joelmullins8965 3 года назад

We replaced the sfa in our TT for basically the same reasons. The pleather was peeling and it wasn't really comfortable not to mention the pleather sticking to our legs in the Texas heat. We got lucky and found the middle of a sectional at a pottery barn outlet for $200 which fit perfectly. I was surprised how poorly constructed while also quite heavy the factory sleeper was.

@Five2Go 3 года назад

Yeah, the couch we pulled out of here was just chunks of foam on wood. It was extremely uncomfortable. The one we just put in is built like a proper couch/recliners - cushions, springs, etc. Much better!

We love our Recpro recliner. We purchased it over a year and a half ago. It sat on the honey do list for six months setup after delivery in our family room and used almost daily. It replaced our euro lounger in the motorhome . It has been exposed to extreme heat 115f and above and only 25f for lows and is as soft as the day we purchased. We live in the desert of AZ. We are not full timers but we do travel a lot. Just got back from dropping off our daughter at college in TN and we made stops along the Louisiana and Texas gulf just before the hurricanes hit. We purchased our unit used also and things will go wrong and things need replacing. It’s just part of the journey. Stay well and safe travels Five2go!

@Five2Go 3 года назад

We're not really convinced it was wear - there is definitely something wrong with the fabric. It may have been how it was cleaned, how long it sat, etc. Regardless, that couch was super uncomfortable. The other things that are starting to crack are way more comfortable though so we may have to figure out how to recover them instead of replacing them...

Nice couch! We have the “ultra leather” furniture in our rig too but so far it’s been holding up.

No matter who the salesman is or where you bought from, even brand new there will be issues. We have bought new and had a few issues and our current rig was used but like new. We opted out of the extended warranty and have upgraded several things as well as made several repairs to random things. It happens.

Your sofa looks great. That peeling ultra leather hit a lot of people we have a 2013 Tiffin Allegro Open Road. We have replaced both captain chairs from The Bunk House in Red Bay, AL. We just received our new sofa and recliner from RecPro. We ordered the cloth because we have to put our RV in storage when we are at home and from what we read the cloth may hold up better in the heat. Dinette will probably be next. Be safe and stay healthy.

My buddy has the same couch in a 17 Bounder and it is very comfortable. I have a 12 Georgetown with furniture covered with the same material. Our furniture is still in good shape. The problem comes from the animals on it, their claws do damage you don’t see till it’s too late. And kids jumping on them stretch the material. If you just sat on it it lasts! And I see those 2 things already happening to the new couch!

@1D10CRACY Год назад

Yup, the cheaper furniture doesn't hold up to much abuse. Good quality furniture will take a beating including animals jumping on it. We have leather furniture and our dog jumps on it daily, two years later it still looks just as good as the day we got them. There was also an issue with some of the leather fabric being produced. For about 3 or 4 years multiple companies were using faulty material that peeled early on. (Most RV Leather is synthetic leather). Your 12 Georgetown wouldn't of had this issue, but the 17 Bounder would of fell into this era, it would just depend on what furniture company Bounder used. Flexsteel was on of the companies affected.

@markdemedeiros3239 2 года назад

I really enjoyed your video. I am currently in the same dilemma. I recently purchased a 2011 Tiffen Allegro 36qsa and the furniture looked good. Three months later the upholstery started to shed like a snake slithering out of its skin. What a disaster. When this process starts it progresses at a rapid rate. I contacted Tiffen and they told me the coach was to old to recieve any assistance. They were only helping people that had the issue within 5years. After doing extensive research I found that Rec Pro and Thomas Payne by Lippert are manufactured in China and are upholstered in the same material that failed you on your old sofa. The Tiffen has Flexsteel furniture that is manufactured in the USA. That being said the fabric they used had the same failure rate. The frames that Flexsteel used are superior in quality so we are going to keep the existing furniture and have it recovered with a far superior fabric to see if we can resolve this issue. Your new recliners look fabulous and I hope you have better luck with the longevity of the material. Keep us posted out here cuz I am sure your viewers want to know as do I.🤓🤓🤓

I saw the new sofa. Sorry, I’d take an l-shape anytime. More space for everyone to relax. May try to put one in ours.

I just tossed a vinyl leather chair after owning it 5 years. The peeling got really bad and couldn’t be repaired or covered. I like your reclining couch. Maybe I should look for one for my house.

Didn't the two younger kids sleep on the pull out couch? If so, where will they be sleeping now? I love the new couch better than the old one and especially the color. I absolutely love Matt & Andrea's RV videos.

@Five2Go 3 года назад

They're on the dinette now. This one is super easy to turn into a bed - you just turn one handle and the table slides down - move the cushions and you're done. The dinette in our last rig took a good 5 minutes to convert which would have been really annoying. They have way more room on the dinette bed, especially because Vector sleeps with them too 😋

Dang, I would love to have that couch for my van.

RecPro has all different sizes and configurations, you should check out their site.

These are very encouraging! It's like owning a home. You don't call your real estate agent when you need to replace the water heater, for cryn' our loud. ;)

@katerick6158 3 года назад

Looks great and very comfortable. Can you get seat covers for the drivers and passenger seats. That peeling would bug me lol, especially if rubbing on your arm

@Five2Go 3 года назад

There are a few generic seat covers on the market but we've heard the fit and materials aren't great. I imagine a funky seat cover would annoy me more than what's happening now 😜

I had problems with ripped and peeling leather armrests in my Yukon SUV. As a temporary fix I found a pair of men’s knee length dress socks that were a perfect match to the leather and just slipped them over. It prevented my arms and elbows from being scratched every day for the 60 days until I got a new vehicle. Cheap and effective for a temporary fix

@danleonard3600 3 года назад

I really thought you were going to put in the convertible bunk sofa . I guess you decided you don’t need the bunk space. This looks way more comfortable.

@Five2Go 3 года назад

We really tossed around the idea of putting a queen sleeper out here and letting the kids have our room, but we decided against it. The bunk sofas are wildly expensive but very cool. The littles are sleeping on the dinette now - it converts to a bed in about 5 seconds and it gives them way more room because Vector loves sleeping with them.

@roydavis2242 3 года назад

It's not just the REV Group owned product lines that had issues. I read on a Newmar forum about having the same issue. (mostly 2012-214) They were made by Flexsteel™ but the manufacturer picks the fabric. Did the old one have seat belts? Did you bolted it down? I'm pretty sure the one you took out was. They're bolted down so they don't become projectiles in an accident.

@Five2Go 3 года назад

Our front seats are Flexsteel I think but the couch wasn't. It was some kind of custom built piece - there were measurements and cut lines all over the wood that was under the fabric. There are seat belts on the floor under there and the old couch was bolted down. We've got the anchors and will install them if the couch moves next time we drive, but the seat belts are staying down on the floor since we won't be using them.

@billlambert4153 3 года назад

We had the same problem on our 2016 Winnebago Vista seats and couch. We ended up replacing all 3 with new flexsteel seats and couch. I think that it was a fabric issue of that time frame.

Has the dinnet cushions doing like the sofa and the front seats have ? If so what will you do about the dinnet? Your right you bought a used RV you can’t expect it to be like new. Enjoy the sofa is beautiful.Love you guys.❤️💋🦋🥰

@Five2Go 3 года назад

The dinette cushions are peeling on the back. We haven't decided what to do about those yet though...

@sharon7181 3 года назад

Did you remember to reinstall the seat belts ? Looks like a nice couch !

@Five2Go 3 года назад

We don't allow passengers in the living room while driving so we just left the seat belts on the floor.

@sammiepuppy4196 3 года назад

Very nice new couch. When it is time to replace the front seats, does this company make seats that will go with the new sofas? It was a hassle to get the old sofa out, so...how did the manufacturer get the furniture into the coach originally? Thank you for sharing.

@Five2Go 3 года назад

RecPro doesn't have replacements for the front seats but they're only wearing on the arms so far so they're good for now. They do have dinette options but we haven't looked too closely at those yet. As for getting furniture into RVs, they're often loaded up with the big stuff in the factory before the slides are installed.
