Swapping Jackknife Sofa for Wall-Hugger Recliners in 6280 Conquest

[gno_B_neno]

Want to remove my jackknife sofa and replace with 2x connected recliners. Does anyone have a pic of this modification and/or have any advice what model of recliners would work. Obviously, they would have to be the ones that work while close to the wall. Thanks in advance with any advice y’all can give

Yes the "wall huger" style of recliner is needed. I did this with a single recliner where my small jack knife sofa was, and had it angled toward the front for best viewing of the TV. This allows someone to walk around it even if it is fully reclined...

Do you by chance have a pic ? Second …. There are 2 of us and ideally would like to mount a side by side recliner there. But, you nailed it right on the head - much more comfortable w recliners than that couch for watching tv

I have a double recliner with a center console, it is a manual recliner. The problem is that it’s very hard to keep the seat back reclined. There’s no problem with the foot rest so I am considering replacing it with a hide-a-bed style couch but if I ever get another recliner for my rv, I would only get a power recliner so I don’t have to climb half way up the seat back to keep it reclined.

We have the 6280 Conquest. I suspect you either do not have this model or you mistyped in the length, it is 31' long. We are considering this modification. you need to be aware that if it is actually the 6280, the jackknife is on a frame elevated above the floor and is directly over the outside storage. It would not be a simple swap as there is an aluminum frame that would need to be removed and a floor would need to be put in.
