Bulky Chairs, gotta go!

Our new Laredo TT 297RLS has the twin swivel chairs in the rear & take up alot of room. My wife likes to relax on the sofa & me in the chair. So here is my plan!
Remove both chairs & sell (someware), replace with one nice Euro leather chair & ottoman on the door side. The ottoman can serve as a second seat for any short term company. Also, when getting ready to roll, we won't have to put that chair near the slide (street side) up on the sofa before bringing the slide in. Anybody have an opinion!

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'.

Personally I recommend the Lambright Comfort Chairs. They are a little pricey but are really comfortable and fairly light and compact. They are all hand made and can be covered in either leather or cloth. Here is a link to be able to look at some of the stuff they offer.
