Members are exploring alternatives to the factory dinette in the Winnebago Micro Minnie, aiming to replace it with a sofa sleeper or recliners that sit at floor level to avoid the step-up caused by the slide. The original poster is concerned about comfort and minimizing the height difference between the slide and the main floor. Several RVers confirm that the OEM sofa sleeper sits close to floor level, but note it’s only suitable for kids as a sleeper. Thomas Payne is recommended as a... More...

Does Winnebago sell after market furniture?, wanted to X the dinette and put in sofa/sleeper OR other brands that seats would be floor level. Know other sofa brands are more comfortable but don't want the big step off of slide rise, if I can avoid it. Other advice is welcome.
 
OEM sofa sleeper does not have a big rise, not sure who the mfgr of the sofa (sleeper?) is, would not really make a sleeper except for a kid when it is in the down position.
Two recliners would seem a better use of the space IMHO.

Thomas Payne makes replacement sofas and couches, and recliners something would be suitable

Yeah those look great, the Micro Minnie I'm considering has a good size step up to the slide. The OEM seats seemed to be built closer to the floor was my concern. Attached pictures, with dinette, where you can see a pretty good step up, then the OEM seats that are trailer floor level, kind of hard to see the store logo covers the step off

Hard to tell the step up, but that is my couch you are showing in the pic.
I think the dinette height and couch base height are the same. I can verify when my trailer comes out of storage in a couple weeks.

Advertise you want to trade your dinette for a sofa sleeper. Lots of guys want to go the other way (sofa sleeper to dinette).
 
I have a Micro FBS2108. I don't know where you are (I'm in NY) but I took my sofa out and put in recliners. Would be willing to sell the sofa if you are nearby and want to come get it. It's the one in the picture above.
 
Do you have the make/model numbers for the recliners?
How difficult was the swap? Any pics?
Am very interested in doing this and your help would be invaluable!
How easy to watch tv with new setup?
Thx! Bill

I literally just went on Facebook Marketplace and found a set of double recliners for $50 that would fit length wise so I dont know what the are. Most are made so the backs come off and will fit through the doorway pretty easily. There were only 2 screws holding the couch in so it was easy to disconnect once found but it was a challenge getting it out the door but we got it done with just my husband and I.

Unfortunately I'm not close. I'm in Texas but thanks for the offer.
