Updating the Interior of my Minnie Winnie 31C

I have a 2003 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 31C . I am looking to replace the sofa with the dual recliner couch from RecPro and also in the process to modify my cabinet space. Has anyone here replaced their couch with the Recpro recliners sofa?

I would love to get your opinion on my cabinet changing plans before I attempt it. I am thinking that the first two cabinets I can convert to a TV/AV cabinet. Make the center wood piece snap in vs permanently screwed in so the tv can "hide" behind the cabinet doors. With the section that the TV is currently in, I would make a matching cabinet that would be 26"w x 23" d x 21" h that would serve as a pantry. I would need to do my best to match the fake oak look to match the rest.

The would put the TV in front of the Coach seating so there would be better place to relax and watch TV when I want to.

Thoughts? (pictures here https://photos.app.goo.gl/9WvH85BFByx39n2Q7)

I replaced the sofa in my 2005 Adventurer with "RecPro Charles 67" Double RV Wall Hugger Recliner Sofa with Console in Cloth" about a year ago. We have used it for several long trips and have been very pleased. The specific one we picked is a basic camper style, not as fancy as the faux leather we had, but it serves our needs very well. Ordering was simple and delivery was on time. It came in pieces that my wife and I were able to get into the motorhome and assemble easily.

I'm sorry, but I can't visualize your cabinets/floor plan so I can't help you there. In my coach I built a simple cabinet to replace an unused side table and got a motorized tv mount to hide the TV when not in use.

That is good to know, thanks. That is the sofa we are looking at using.

That's my plan for my 2002 35U. When raised, the TV will cover the window between the entry door and passenger seat. Having the TV at eye level is greatly prefered over a high level mount. The motorized lifts are fairly inexpensive now that flat screen TVs have become so light. For example, a 48" Samsung LED TV weighs in at about 21 lbs.

Here's one for $160 (77 lb capacity):

For the most part, the move expensive lifts have much higher weight capacities like 150 lbs or more.

I'm not sure of your MH's layout so this may not be feasible.
