Build a new dinette

[Cheryl D.]

As I mentioned, I'm new to this. How do I find the gallery? Thanks!

Click on my name BicenTw next to my comment then in the drop down menu click on View Gallery Uploads. You’ll see two photos; the photo of the bed frame in the AS and of the dinette on the driveway.

Our dinette.

We shortened it up to only seat 2 to give us more floor space. My wife did the floor, tile and upholstery. I did the carpentry work to shorten up everything.

We looked at doing some thing like this in our 2005 classic 30 ft.. we are a different model as our shower and bath are on same side as refrigerator.

SO,, now that you have lived with this for a while how do you like it our would you do something different.. ie.. remove the whole thing and do a desk type thing?? or something like "lessjunk more journey" did in there unit.. (they are on youtube)

Also on the floor,, what did you use? vinyl click lock, glue down etc adn what brand name and how has it held up.?

Click lock cork floor. Pretty easy. Holding up fine. Got it from lowes.
Dinette is perfect would not change a thing.

If I had to do it over again.... “I” would get a bambi...

cool deal.

on our unit the sliding drawers under seats, have a space on end that is like 20" inches. When i did some measurements if we cut the frame down to 30" or whatever the length on back wall was it seemed like the drawer would fit without cutting it down.. is that what you found??

do you have more info on teh cork floor at lowes.. sku number etc or picture of boz?

now that you have the floor down for a while have you noticed any separations etc with it... how about travels have you done a lot of miles? and any issues.. how about added weight?

we just had all our dinnette coushions recovered like last year so if we shortend the width we till have to get them cut down and recovered.

you happen to have any photos of the build??

thanks a million. !!

Seems on the refrigerator side I had to shorten the drawer a bit. On the tv stand side I lost a bit of storage from my outside compartment. Thats were I still keep all my leveling stuff. Floor is holding up well. My F 250 hasn’t noticed a weight difference . I would however like to weigh it next time I pass a weigh station.
The wife loves it and thats all that really matters.
