We’ve shared a handful of our fifth wheel projects now(yay!) and after getting a pile of the same questions regarding our furniture updates I thought Id get together a post to house all the links and info. Hopefully this makes it easier/faster for you guys to reference the posts as well!
We built our dining table and you can read the post here. The chairs we ordered on Amazon and they came in a set of 4. Two of the set were used at the dining table and two were used at the desk located in the back of the fifth wheel.
The original sofa that came with the fifth wheel was crazy heavy, a sleeper, and not even close to our style. We knew right away the sleeper feature was not important but the style was. After a lengthy online shop sesh we found this Dove Grey Sofa at World Market. It fits the space in our slide perfect and is super lightweight! It also comes in a few large sections making it easy to assemble(which we did once it was inside).
Our headboard was originally a super flimsy corduroy and cardboard number(yikes!). Luckily, it was also one of the first things we swapped out. We found this headboard at a West Elm pop up store which meant it was an absolute steal! We unassembled everything so we could just use the actual headboard. Later we used the wood from what would have been the frame as shelves and other small projects.
We will be updating this post as the projects keep going so keep an eye out for more soon!

Thank you for making me feel that I am NOT the only one that think factory RV furniture is terrible. Uncomfortable, heavy, not sencable.... I also changed out one of our super uncomfortable sleeper sofas. I made a day bed in its place and ordered a mattress in a box online. Then I also took out the cheap dining room table and built in a booth and made a custom table. We needed the storage under the bench seats. I have been so busy in the living room and dining area I haven't got to the bedroom yet. Your upgrades look nice and comfortable sofa. Our sleeper sofa lasted about a year of daily use before the fake leather material started tearing apart. One thing for sure, if you are going to fulltime RV you definitely need to upgrade. Safe Travels.
I'm trying to find a complete before and after fifth wheel tour - but maybe you haven't done that yet? Your work is just absolutely beautiful and such an improvement to rv life! I'm totally inspired and grateful for all your advice!
Thanks Leana! I'll have to get a full before and after tour together soon!
