Hey Starchmill welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your new RLBS,
We are owners of the RLBS and love it. They Tow excellently. I was a little concerned about the front cap design, because it's concaved. I was able to E-Mail back and forth with the factory. They claimed it was designed using a wind tunnel program. Well, working in the Aerospace Engineering Bus. for many years. I was still skeptical. So I designed a test pitting our old TT (1000 lbs. lighter) against the RLBS for gas consumption. To my pleasure, the RLBS did a good job aerodynamicly. The factory asked for my report and said they were posting the data I took at the factory. It actually was a little better than our old TT. We just finished a 7000 mi. trip and avg. 8.55 mpg. Remember we use a gas V10. Very happy.
Now to your question; We also wanted to swap out the Swivel Rockers with the Recliners. I took the Recliner measurements from a new 5ver on my Dealers lot. In my case they wouldn't fit.
The way we handled the issue is, I called Mastercraft the furniture manufacturer. They offer an ottoman. We gave them the name and code # for the chair material and they made and shipped the matching ottoman. We ordered just one. It worked out wonderfully. Paid about $100.
When traveling it sits on it's side between the chairs against the small table.
If yours is the same as ours I would't know how you would stow the Recliners when traveling. One would certainly fit by the door but the other?
I think I remember another RLBS owner saying they fell asleep in their Recliner, so maybe there's a little difference in some of these units.
It would be a shame to get your new rig and not have the room for them.
Also do a search under Mountaineer Improvements to see some neat things some of us have done to our TT's.
