Gray Reclining RV Loveseat for a 60 Inch Space to Replace a Jackknife Sofa

Hi Brent,

Yes, the 58 inch overall width of the etrailer Reclining RV Loveseat part # e24TV includes the armrests, so with the 60 inches of space you have and if you center it in your opening, you will have about an inch of clearance on each side. I am not confident that is enough space to pull the lever to recline.

With the 60 inches of space you have, I would actually go with the Thomas Payne Dual Reclining RV Loveseat, part # TP98KR. It is 55 inches wide overall, which gives you about 2 1/2 inches of clearance on each side when centered. More importantly, the reclining release handles are tucked between the seat cushions, so you will not have to squeeze your hand between the armrest and the wall every time you want to kick your feet up. There is not a 58 inch version of this loveseat available, but I think the 55 inch size is going to be a much more comfortable fit for your space.

You will want to check the space behind it before ordering because the Thomas Payne needs approximately 8 to 10 inches of wall clearance to recline properly. It will also fit through RV doors that are at least 26 inches wide, which makes getting it inside a lot more manageable. I would much rather see you give up those 3 inches of loveseat width and have something you can comfortably use than squeeze a 58 inch loveseat into the opening and fight with the reclining handle every time you sit down.

How do you picture using it most, movie nights, morning coffee, or sneaking in a quick nap?
