Question:

Regarding the Thomas Payne Heritage Dual Reclining RV Loveseat w/ Console - 80inch Wide - McCoy Part Number: TP23KR We have a 2019 Forest River Berkshire 34QS with a factory installed jackknife sofa. We would like to replace it with the above Loveseat Recliner. My question is how much clearance is required behind the loveseat. Thanks, Wayne

Hey Wayne! The Thomas Payne Heritage Dual Reclining RV Loveseat # TP23KR requires 2" of wall clearance to be able to fully recline. This fits through a 26" or wider entry door and measures 80" wide x 27-1/2" deep x 39" tall.

Did your old sofa wear out or are you just upgrading?

Thanks for getting back to me Robin. I guess you could call it an upgrade. I have some lower back issues and our old sofa is not comfortable for sitting, I’d like to go to a recliner to get the pressure off my spine.

@Wayne I understand, some of that RV furniture can be pretty uncomfortable. I actually sat in the # TP23KR recently since we had them out for some tests and it was significantly better than the trifold in my Jayco.
