Dinette Replacement

The "rear end of the trailer dinette" didn't work for us on our 2016 FC 27 FB; we wanted something more comfortable. I removed the existing formica-covered table & the two side benches. On Craigslist, I bought an oval oak table ($25), cut off about a third of it, & mounted the remainder where the old table had been. I also bought on Amazon & installed two swivel armchairs ($85 each): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Voila: a much more comfortable seating arrangement & working desk (at the cost of losing some storage space & the ability to convert the area for sleeping purposes).

Looks very nice. How do you fasten the chairs and table down when travelling?

I don't fasten the chairs & have not had any problems with their moving while travelling, ie, I have not detected their having moved.

The table I fastened permanently to the back wall of the trailer. It is truly immobile.

Any issues with heat ducts or the sub woofer? How did you move those?

Very nice affordable update and you can still put the pieces back for a stock arrangement if you decide to sell.
