Default replace barrel chair



Has anyone replaced the barrel chair with a recliner type chair? My husband is disabled and needs a more comfortable chair. There are small recliners for RVs listed on the internet. Not sure if chair would fit through the door or if recliner could be stablized.

You can replace your barrel chair with an RV recliner as another Rialta owner did this for handicap husband. Here is their email and they may can send photos of what they did. doyle_dj@webtv.net I replaced my barrel chair with a QD chair to make another sleeping bed. Where are you located, town, state, becasue if you change out the chair, I would be interested in purchaseing it.

Welcome to the forum zoub!

This is a very old thread and Phillis Black has been AWOL since '2014.

But m.logan is still here and might see this for an update.

Still here, buy with different MH. I do not know which recliner was used but installation of a recliner is doable. The recliner needs to be mounted securely to the floor and if used during motion, needs seat belts. Here is flooring with my then new chair being added. Shop around any RV repair place for mounting a recliner into your Rialta.
