change dinette to sofa

Found the perfect small folding table at walmart to fit into space when we want to use it. Then fold and stow away.
Very happy now!

We did nothing to the wall behind the pillows. There is an extra board cut so it can still be made into a bed. Not sure yet about the table situation. Will either make a smaller one that can be used and taken down or just go with TV trays.
This 2014 class C only had dinette and chair, no sofa. But the deal was too good to pass up.

Nice Betsypup!
Did you re-do along the wall (behind where your pillows are)?
Do you still have a way to use the table? Convert to bed?

A few years back I saw a post where a lady put her dinette in the bed position, added a mattress topper trimmed to fit. Then covered that with a coordinating comforter and pillow shams to go with the bench back cushions and turned the dinette into a full time "daybed". It looked very nice and she seemed pleased with it.

Here is a link to a dinette conversion that caught my attention. It may give you some ideas.

If there are no utilities under the benches it shouldn't be too hard. I've seen several people recommend IKEA furniture as it can be easier to get in a small door as most of their furniture comes apart, or is delivered in pieces.

Ok. How about ideas for making dinette into a seating area? Leaving the bench seats in place and adding a seat between. Making it U shaped.

Shouldn't be any problem doing that. Use the same construction technique as is used in the existing dinette seats.

On second thought I guess it is possible that changing the seating arrangement could put more weight further out in the slide causing a problem. Probably less of a problem, if any, than replacing the dinette with a sofa.
