This is an updated post of what was intended to be a draft.
Our motorhome is aging (just like us) and just like the floor in the previous post, the original tub chair needs replacement. The fabric is faded and showing signs of wear. The arms can't be cleaned anymore because we are afraid the fabric will disintegrate.

This chair is comfy so we want something similar which means a swivel glider tub chair. The replacement chair was found on Walmart online for a very good price. $60 cheaper than the next lowest price. All we needed to do was pick it up at a nearby Walmart about a week later.
The old chair's smallest dimension is 28 inches. The new chair is 29". The doorway into the motorhome is 24 inches. They just won't fit in through the door. How did the factory do it?
You take out the window. Seems like a formidable job but not so much. There is an inside aluminum frame and the window itself. Step 1, remove the caulking on the outside. Step 2, remove 22 screws from the inside frame. Step 3, remove frame. Step 4, remove window. And don't drop it!

Get some help from the guys in the park. Take out the original chair through the window opening. Insert the new replacement chair. Re-install the window and the 22 screws. Caulk the the window. Total time about 2 hours, which a pro would do in 1. 😏
