Stupid Question
As in most RV's the entry door is kinda narrow. Now for the stupid question.............
I have a 2008 Jayco Eagle 341 RLQS. If i wanted to put in a new couch how would I get it inside my RV?

There are no stupid questions...
Was asking myself the same thing when looking at used TTs before I bought mine

Honestly? Dissemble the couch or remove a slider.

John is correct. RV couches usually have an easily removable back, in my experience.

Never thought about removing the slide. Bet that's a real task.

This is the rub. Who has the right equipment just laying around to remove a slide? I guess you could rent it maybe? But I would do absolutely everything else before trying that myself; and that includes abandoning the project...

Do you think you can get the sofa through the door if you set it upright on one of it's ends, put the back or bottom through the door first and then turn it to allow the rest of it to come in/out? RV sofas aren't generally as long as a residential length sofa so, when set on end, they should clear the doorway in height.
If the sofa is longer than the height of your doorway, or you have a stairwell inside your doorway, then you might have to resort to trying one of the methods mentioned above.
I have a reclining chair here at home that's wider than my doorway and that's how I get it through.

Or there's forgetting the couch and putting in some nice chairs? Like the ones you can get from Ikea?
Looking at your floorplan, if it's not the height of the door that's restricting you, you could remove part of the dinette to give you some room around that corner?

I know the jacknife sofas can be taken apart. I am planing to do a mod this spring where I raise up the arms on mine because I hate it having no arms. (I know how to do this because of running an upholstory business for a few years) I may remove the whole sofa as it will be easier to work on. I will post some photos of the drama when I am done.

Most love seats or couches with reclining features have removable backs. Lazy boy chairs also have this feature on most models. On some you can remove the feet depending on the couch, then it s game of angles from there. Bring a tape measure with you.
That's if you want household furniture of course. If you want RV specific then like mentioned above some disassemble.

I have several slide removal tools at home if anyone wants to borrow one. Also have some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale.

Funny you all mentioned pulling the motor - At our work site in Maricopa AZ the night crew guy would pull his volkwagon engine alot and work/clean on the work bench inside the shop haha... Apparently it was an easy thing to do...
