Reclining loveseat replacing sofa 26Y

[Bobenme]

Has anyone replaced the fold out sofa in their Greyhawk 26Y with a reclining
loveseat (possibly Thomas Payne from Camping World) that would be willing
to share their experience? Thanks in advance.

Surprised no responses to your question. We have a Redhawk 26XD which I think is the same floor plan. This will not be much help, but we have done lots of homework and plan to replace our sofa with a Rec Pro 58" double recliner. Looks like it will fit perfectly. There is an electrical box on the floor under the sofa that looks to be relocatable if necessary. Rec Pro will send you fabric color swatches.

So, it's on my to list, probably for this fall. Wish I could provide more detail.

Just bought a 2017 greyhawk 29mv,went to look at it ,was surprised it had a powered double recliner instead of the love seat.My wife and I thought this would not work out,even tried to work with the dealer to order a replacement jacknife love seat.Bought the coach and have fallen in love with it.It is far more comfortable and more practical .hope this helps

The DW and I replaced the trifold sofa in our 26Y in December of last year. We replaced it with the RecPro Charles Collection 58" Double Recliner RV Sofa in chestnut. We ordered it from RecPro through Amazon. The price was the same except we did not pay sales tax through Amazon. We ordered it Wednesday 12/12 and it arrived from RecPro by FedEx on Saturday 12/15. We have been extremely pleased with this purchase. It is very comfortable to watch TV from the recliners which sit so much better than the old sofa. It is slightly narrower than the original. We took down the side valance pieces to eliminate any potential interference. Please see the thread below. It has pictures of our installation.

Nope, we haven't replaced ours. It was actually one of the selling points for us. We love that sofa and the full size bed that it turns into. Our old TT had one of the jack knife sofas and my kids grew out of it. Love this one.

Nice job, those look really comfortable.

I want to do this to my rig. I will use RecPro when the time comes. I already have it picked out.

I will actually probably use the bed functionality of the tri-fold in January though. So DW doesn't want to replace at this time. Even though in over 6 years of RVing, that will be only the second time that functionality was used... And in January, it won't be required, just convenient.

Hi Mike, i have a 2019 26xd, my wife and I are looking to replace the couch with a recpro couch which measures 37” deep, but our slide out only measures 33”, will there be enough room to bolt the frame on the 33” floor? Thanks, fellow squid

Hi Eagle, I still haven't swapped out the couch in our Redhawk so I can't answer your question. Life interfered with our plans. Also, the Redhawk has spent a lot of time sitting at the dealer for warranty repairs. It is in fact back there now. Hope someone else will jump in with the info you need.

I have been watching threads about this topic anticipating that we might do that at some point so if you do a search on the site you will find at least 3 threads that I am aware of. One of them goes into some detail about doing the replacement and the steps to make things fit.

Mike, thanks for getting back to me, hope all turns out well for you. Larry, (eaglelmc)

A friend of mine picked up 2 love seats at CW with electric controls at close out prices. They went into the hole perfectly where the jacknife was removed.

They could not move when the slides were closed so he did not even attach them.
