If the back of the dinette seat is supposed to be a step hen it is not a sturdy one. Thankfully I purchased a hook on ladder from a discount bin a long time ago nd hang it on the wall with hooks when in transit. The back of the dinette seat broke and I took it apart for repair. It is built from 1X2 lumber and broke from the driver seat pressing against it.
I salvaged the cover panel and the fabric covered top and trashed the rest. I rebuilt the back out of 3/4 inch plywood doubled up and glues together. I used the cover panel as a template and cut the radius. Then I used 2X2 lumber to rebuild the seat base where the back and base met to form the seat bottom. Then I used 1/4 inch bolts to secure the top fabric cover to the seat back with the original brackets.
