Furnishing an RV with everyday furniture

When buying furniture for an RV measure 3 times and then let someone else measure twice but don't do like us and forget to measure the door!

When we bought this project my husband saw apart and removed the foul smelling built in sofa. We had a nice sofa and decided to just put it in it's place, or so we thought. After my husband removed the built in sofa we discovered the tire well and knew no sofa was going to fit there without being sawed in the back. The problem with our sofa was that it had two recliners on either end so we couldn't saw on it. So then my very smart husband decides to build a platform for the sofa to set on so it sets above the tire well. Problem solved? No

To find out our sofa was too long. So on the day we decide to move it in my husband and a friend were trying to figure out how to get it through this tiny little door. So when they flipped it over I saw it was all connected with two metal bars and suggested them taking them off. Then I suggested they remove the center section of the sofa and reconnect the two end recliners side by side and saw off the extra metal. Wala a love seat was made and fit perfectly.

So then off we go to the store to buy the largest fridge you could dream of fitting in an RV. See my husband took out the fridge cabinet area where the original fridge was to make room for a larger fridge. So once again he measures again and again and we order our fridge to be delivered the next day. Then we went and bought a washer dryer combo (that you see in RV magazines). So the next day my husband decides to put both in and realizes nothing is going through that door, even if you took the framing off. So here he's wondering where to buy a larger door and how to make room for it between the two windows and has an epiphany! He decides to take out the large window instead!

So then with the help or some neighbors he lifts the fridge and washer/dryer through the window and puts the window back in. But lets talk about the washer dryer combo. I will recommend anyone wanting a washer dryer in your RV to go with a stackable if you can spare the room. The problem with the washer dryer combo is it only does a very small load and take over three hours to wash and dry each load. However it does do a good job.

We ended up taking out the gas oven and gas hot water heater because they needed replacing. So where they were located in the kitchen area we put the washer dryer combo in their place. This way we could plumb right into the sink and drain and there is an outlet right there.
