24RKS couch or recliners

We are considering selling our Cougar with bunks and we really like the 24RKS (especially all that inside storage). Can anyone comment on the size/functionality of the convertible couch? Our sons are 6' and 6'4" and I'm wondering if the sleeper sofa is long enough/comfortable at all. If not, we may opt for the recliners option and 1 could sleep on the dinette and the other on the floor.

We bought the 2019 24RKS with the couch. Brother in law bought his with the recliners. The recliners are not wall huggers and to me seem too much of a hassle in order to secure while traveling. Seems like he had to pull it out almost to the middle of the floor to use it. He gave both chairs to his sons and now uses folding chairs. Not what I would do. Our couch is decent quality and very comfortable to sit on. We never used the fold out bed, but it seemed about queen sized. All that said, we just replaced it with a recliner couch from Shop4Seats.com. We're keeping the old couch as there is nothing wrong with it, and you never know if you might need it again.

We have a 25RDS and it came with the fold out sofa. When opened up it measures
71"Lx54"W.
It's okay to sit on but we're recliner people so we took it out and replaced it with two wall huger recliners from Best Furniture. We store the sofa in a bedroom in our home and swap it out if the grand kids are going camping. Pretty easy to do.

We find the sofa uncomfortable and the recliners too much hassle.

The recliners looked like crap after 3 years of occasional use, we got rid of them for better wall hugger units.

The furniture ORV uses is made by Lippert, not Thomasville/LazyBoy.

I'm not all that familiar with the 24RKS but are you sure the dinette is an option for sleeping?

The dinette in the 24RKS is okay for sleeping once you set it up. As for the couch/bed it was good enough for sitting but I could not stretch out to watch TV so I replaced with a smaller swivel/recliner. This makes for more floor space all around and I could even use an inflatable mattress if the need arises. The couch breaks down into three pieces just by removing pins at the joints. I have it stored.

As posted previously, we also removed the original couch from our 24RKS. The original was not bad as far as couches go, but too small for two people to get very comfortable on. This is what we replaced it with. Bought it from shop4seats.com. Fit in the space without an inch to spare.

Thanks for the input and ideas. Unfortunately, we've got time to consider our options...
