Yup!... exactly what we did - twice!
Bought DH a leather Euro recliner for our previous fifth wheel, and then kept the chair when we sold the trailer. Lord knows I'd been in "big trouble" if I had sold his chair too.
When we bought the Laredo, his chair was the first thing he loaded inside. Your idea sounds like a great plan to me, and I'm sure my DH would agree.
Our RL floorplan is a bit different than yours... in our case, the chair works best on the 'slide side'.
