Replacing chairs

Looking at replacing my swivel rockers in my Durango 1500. Is there any other places besides Camping World?

Did you check at your local furniture store? The backs come off many chairs making it easy to get them into the camper and the household stuff is often miles ahead of the RV stuff in terms of construction. Last time I replaced recliners, my local furniture store even loaded them for me. Said they do it all the time. My small dealers do the same thing.

Otherwise there are multiple RV furniture dealers online, but the shipping can be pricey.

We replaced the 2 original totally uncomfotable swivel rockers in our Montana with LA Z Boy wall hugger recliners. The couch in the last 5er was replaced by a Lane Snuggler (that one needed a major disassembly to fit) plus a La Z Boy. Nice thing with the La Z Boy recliners is that there are many sizes plus the back comes off with a flip of a couple levers. You can usually get a bigger recliner in the door then the actual door width. Measure carefully as some recliners in some RVs just wont fit when slides are retracted. We pull the backs off ours while traveling for a better fit at the back though they would fit in the middle between slides.

Thanks for the ideas. Will have to check at the local furniture stores.

Steve you are right about shipping being expensive.

We replaced the jacknife sofa with a white leather 3 seater from Ikea, I think you have them in the USA? Ripped out the dinette as we rarely use it anyway & today the swivel chair arrived (from Furniture Village, a national furniture store), makes the lounge area feel light & airy & very comfortable.
