Another 22' CCD Dinette mod
Like others, though we love the layout of the 22' CCD, we felt the dinette setup was cramped, uncomfortable and took up too much floor space in the trailer. Spent some time tossing about different ideas on how to improve it.
While staring at it after a long bike ride in Moab last summer we decided to remove the front bench and see how it looked. We liked the result and donated the bench to a local who is probably still using it in his front yard. The dilema was what to do with the rear bench as it also housed the converter. Finally this is what we came up with.
We removed the rear bench, cut and modified the bench/converter bracket and moved it to the rear of the wheel well cover (similar to BDandTTs). We then turned the table 90 degrees and cut it into a half-moon shape. The benches we replaced with folding, reclining camp chairs. We lowered the table ~3" to fit with the camp chairs.
All in all we really like the new setup. The camp chairs are much more comfortable than the old benches. They can be moved wherever we want them, reclined, folded out of the way or even removed to open up the entire floorspace. We also don't have to carry and store extra chairs to use outside the trailer. The bathroom door now opens fully and it is easier to get in and out of the desk area (which I actually use frequently). When traveling we fold the camp chairs and lay them on top of the bed so they don't slide around.
Been having trouble loading the pictures so will try them one by one in the next few posts... jk
