So I realize there is an "upgrade" section of the forum, however, my upgrade is more specific to our View unit so I felt it would be most beneficial here under Class C (although I still may drop a post linking here over in the upgrade section)
For us, one of the BIG adjustments we had to make downgrading to a smaller coach was the lack of flat surfaces to park stuff such as TV/media player remotes and smart devices - particularly in the living/slideout area. Our couch is the non-reclining type and does not have a fold-down center as in some units. Ours is just either a couch or folded out to a bed.
There is a table that can be popped into the floor for placing stuff on but frankly we prefer the open floorplan of not having the table especially if the overcab bunk is being used.
There isn't a window sill behind the sofa like in our former unit - a place we often could place beverages and the device remotes.
Then I got the idea of an arm-chair organizer. On to Amazon to see what they had. I finally settled on a narrow (13" wide) Joywell organizer. I checked the "open" area on the outside of our couch to make certain it would clear the slideout in/out operation - it does.
Next, I wanted to make certain that the organizer wouldn't have gravity creep - sinking to the floor as the organizer got loaded up. The Joyell organizer being 35 inches long was more than enough to cinch it in the armrest frame. I purchased and installed a pair of them, one for each end of the couch. Now that we've used them for a few months I can honestly brag that has been one handy upgrade. The Joywell organizer pouches are various sizes and has been perfect for most needs (no beverage area, although you can stick a water bottle in one of the pockets but we tend not to).
I can fit and organize all of our remotes (TV remote, Jensen media center remote, Riverpark Infotainment remote. I also bring a media PC along to stream videos from so I can also fit my micro Bluetooth keyboard in the Joywell as well). My wife can keep her favorite book by her side and nothing gets lost down in the couch or on the floor. The Joywell organizers are still accessible when the couch is unfolded to bed position and they don't interfere with folding/unfolding the couch.
As an additional storage for our four-legged family member, I purchased a back seat organizer and installed it on the back side of the cab passenger seat. No photos of that project but it has helped keep the leash, fresh doggie clean-up bags and other personal gear such as keys and flashlight near the exit. We do have the overcab bunk and strapping the organizer behind the passenger seat is easy access. When our son doesn't join us I move the back seta organizer onto the bunk ladder storage.
