Kind of off topic but have a camper with a uncomfortable couch in a slide over the wheel house on a platform. Anyone have a lead on how to replace with some type of reclining seat/recliner. Have been thinking of something along the lines of expedition 2nd row seating.

I would check with a local upholstery shop to see if they can help you out to fix what you currently have. Different fabric, foam or structure. My grandparents had a shop and there were a number of choices when it came to foam. I worked in the shop during summers but I only got to make the buttons.

I have had stuff upholstered, but it cost as much as buying new from RV manufacturers. Search the Internet, lots of manufacturers available.
Buttons huh? I could see that catching on as a nickname.

Me and my big mouth. 
Hey, are you going to trust a 10 year old to run a commercial sewing machine? My fingers would have been sewn into cushions more than once.

First time out this last weekend for 16, rained for 4 days. Watched lots of new dvd's, my butts killing me. Going to get some denser foam and try it on the dinette first, going to have to go with a pro on the sofa though.

Do a web search for 'jack knife' sofa or bed. Many that we looked at needed a base of some sort which you would have to make up to fit over a wheel well. No idea how comfortable they are but doubt that a recliner option would be easy to find. Our last TT had one similar to what you are describing - the fresh water tank and pump were underneath.
