Need to replace gaucho with U-shaped dinette

[gettysburg]

What is the easiest way to search this site for drawings/pictures of converting my gaucho into a u shaped dinette. I have a 75 tradewind. I've been looking on this site the last couple days and seem to be going in circles. Any advice? Is there some where I can purchase a factory dinette? Thanks

I saved this one from Pizzachop.

I thought this was a clever solution:

We removed the gaucho in ours..and will be building a dinette booth. But I'm not planning on a U shaped one.

That is what I am looking to do also...dinette booth....

working on mine now, will post pics soon, thanks to pizzachop for dimensions and lay out he did all the hard work. mine is somewhat different in that I am going to have curves in it along the bottom, and my construction method is a little different. Film at 11:00

We have a living quarters horse trailer and will just go with the dimensions of it. Rather simple to build with no curves. I wouldn't want to try one with curves LOL

Mine is done, I have some photos in the argosy section called dinette/bed combo reno, with some measurements. It start on the 2nd page of argosy photos

I have a 1977 Tradewind with a factory dinette. Look at my photos under my profile on the side of this post as there are some of the dinette from different angles and one of the measurements.

Here's the way we did it:

You'll have to go back thru the thread over the past year or so to see how we built it. Love it, The kids say it sleeps really well. I may sleep out there tonight to test it out myself.

Here is what I have done, crazy I know but I had to have the curves. Have bult all in shop so far will take out and drop in trailer as complet unit when done. Can you tell I am a carpenter, stud walls and all. Thanks to everyone for there insiration (really means I am stealing your ideas) keep up the good work. The door way would be to the right of the curve.

I have also replaced the gaucho with a dinette, it is not U shaped though. Check out my blog, there are pics.

There is a great one posted right now in classifieds. search sovereign, I think it's a 73 for sale. nice dinette they made, and large enough for two adults.

[iairstreamKS]

so I assume we want to measure for a queen sized cushion area and try to plan the dinette around that size so we can use sheets, and queen bedding..... any tips?

[Skatiero]

I love looking at these, any updates? We are seriously considering adding a u shaped dinette.

There is a 1970's era Airstream in the shop getting a U dinette retrofitted. I'll ask the owner of the trailer and see if they would mind me posting a couple of photos here so y'all can see what it would look like. If you don't see any photos of it, you'll know they said "no".

We have a dinette in the front of our Tradewind. Click in our pics to view.
