19 Travel Trailer Sofa Replacement Options

We’ve been looking for a travel trailer sofa replacement for our little camper (14ft Millard Caravan… it’s an Aussie brand). The U-shaped bench seats are not very comfortable. And since the storage underneath them is hard to get to, we barely use it.

What we really need is a sofa! One that reclines would be AWESOME, but I might be dreaming. But if I could have storage built in, I’d be one happy camper!

The search is on! I’ve found some different types of travel trailer sofa replacements, plus manufacturers and suppliers that make couches for RVs.

Here are some of the top camper sofa replacement options I’ve found.

RV Jackknife Sofas

The jackknife RV sofa beds are one of the most common sofas in an RV. Their simple design does not have too much bulk, making it easy to convert into a bed.

A couple of notes to think about when choosing an RV jackknife sofa:

It may only be suitable for a child or short adult.
When folded out, it may be a bit front-heavy, so it must be secured to the floor.

Here are some RV jack knife sofa options by Rec Pro:

Color: Mahogany

RecPro 68" RV Jackknife Sleeper Sofa with Drop-Down Console | Cloth Fabric | 2 Colors to Choose from | Furniture for RV and Camper (Oatmeal Cloth)

New from RecPro: The ever popular RV Jackknife sofa now available with a drop-down console with 2 stainless cupholders

Measuring 70" wide, 42" deep, and 19" high for the bed and 70" wide, 35" high, and 29.5" deep for the sofa, this jackknife sleeper weighs 160 pounds, able to offer you support while being lightweight.

If you’re looking for something a little more stylish, you’ll need to venture outside of the world of RV furniture and into “normal” or residential furniture.

RV furniture is typically both heavier and more expensive than normal furniture. (And, in my opinion, uglier! 😬) And a jackknife sofa is basically just a fancy name for a futon! Here are some lightweight futons that can fit in an RV and are more stylish. Use D-rings anchored to the floor and straps to secure it during travel.

RV Sofa with Storage

I like the idea of having storage in every possible nook and cranny in our travel trailer, but it still has to be practical. Some have drawers underneath, like this one:

DHP Theo Upholstered Daybed with Storage Drawers, Twin, Grey Linen

Contemporary design with clean lines and upholstered in rich linen. Perfect to pair with any décor

I do like how this one lifts up for storage.

With detachable armrests, safety is ensured to provide from falling down when using as a sleeper bed.

Small RV Recliners

How about replacing the RV couch with recliners? We would love this option for ourselves, but two just won’t fit in our tiny travel trailer.

Variety of colors: Choose from five elegant colors - mahogany, putty, gunmetal, chestnut, and toffee - to match your style and décor.

Trifold RV Sofa

The tri-fold sofa is just another type that you could get that would increase the number of beds.

Couchbed

Another type of sofa that has recently come to my attention is the Couchbed. A memory foam mattress that folds up into a comfy couch.

The style is simple, but if you need your extra often, this is possibly the easiest solution!

RV Sectional Sofa

Another great option is a sectional sofa. These can be sized to whatever size you want them to be, but for a travel trailer sofa, you’ll need a small one like one of these!

RV Ottoman

An RV ottoman might be the right solution (and fit) for your RV. Something like these convertible/multi-purpose RV furniture ottomans are really interesting for a particularly small space.

Sofa Replacement Tips

As I’ve been doing this research, there have been a couple of good recommendations:

You’ll likely need to secure your RV sofa, so consider how you will do this before you order.
If you decide to get an RV recliner or a jack knife sofa, when you measure up the space for it, don’t forget to factor in how much room you will need when fully reclined. Consider that it will take up room both in front of and behind the couch.
How much does your new couch weigh? Add as little weight as possible and ensure that your travel trailer sofa replacement weighs less or equal to the old couch.
Will it fit through the door of the RV? If you must assemble it yourself, it will probably fit through. But if not, this will be the most important factor to consider!

RV Furniture Outlet Stores

Amazon is one of the best places to buy RV furniture because it will ship to your door and arrive disassembled. No trying to cram a large couch through a small camper door!

Other good options for shopping are RV Furniture Center, Camping World, RecPro (which also conveniently sells on Amazon), PPL Motorhomes, Shop4Seats.com, and Flex Steel.
