Ok boys & girls... question:
Has anyone ever removed the sliding glass door (and screen) leading into the garage? Either, just the door itself... and/or the entire assembly?
The reason I ask is... I'm on my 3rd version of seating in the rig. The first was the 4-section leather couch.... then the electric reclining TV chair... and now using a swivel rocker/recliner. All of them had 2 things in common: they were 2-piece items that could go thru at least one of the open doors into the living area... and none of them were/are very comfortable for long periods of time.
What I'd love to have is either a very nice, plush, club chair or loveseat like I used to have in my house. Both were slightly oversized, and VERY comfortable. But, they are also both solid 1-piece furniture items that would not fit thru either the front entry door, or through the sliding glass door opening.
I'm pretty sure that if I could get the sliding glass door out from its track, that I could tilt the thing, and get it thru the opening... as the sliding door extends about 2" into the gap when fully open. But I've tried, and can't see any way to get the door out. Normally, they lift-and-tilt right out on residential type doors... but when I lift mine (either the sliding screen or the sliding glass door), I'm still a full inch into the track, which prevents it from being removed.
That leaves as the only option, removing the entire frame from the rig.
Now, I didn't want to go to that trouble before... which is why I put one of my rocker/recliners into the rig last summer. But I've grown tired of it (been tired of it, actually), and I'm back to researching this option.
I can see screws along the top of the frame... so I don't think removing it would pose all that much of a problem. I'm just wondering how hard it would be to put back again if I did. We all know it's not usually hard to remove something... but getting it to fit when you try to reinstall it is another story...
So that's why I'm asking. I know it's not a common event, but I sure would like to get at least one REAL piece of residential furniture in the rig, now that I'm living in it fulltime.
