Nice question, Carl. The Seismic line left # TP75AR / # TP45AR, right # TP72AR / # TP42AR is basically the premium tier - it adds massage, heat, LED cupholders, and underlighting. The Heritage pieces are manual recline with fewer electronic features. Both are built on similar frames, but Seismic gives you those power options and adjustable headrests.

Would you like the extra USB-C charging and heat, or are you more interested in the simpler, no-wiring setup?

Thanks for the info, Andrew. I like the sound of the power features, but does the Seismic line recline as far back as the Heritage ones?

@Carl Yes, the Seismic recliners extend just as far. Both series recline to about 64" overall depth when open. The big difference is that the Seismic power model stops exactly where you want with the buttons, while the Heritage manual version uses a single motion release.

I’ve got limited power in our motorhome. Can the Seismic recliners still be used manually if power’s off?

@Leo Good question, Leo - they can’t recline manually if power is completely off, since the motors handle the motion. But you can always connect them to an inverter or use a small DC-to-AC plug if you’re running off battery power. I guess if you wanted you could remove the electric motor to retract the recliner, but that would only be in an emergency situation where you couldn't get your RV slide closed or something.
