My daughter was getting a little warm in her bunk during our last camping trip, so I decided to put her a fan in to keep the air flowing. I had been wanting to add a 12-volt fan to the main livin...

We picked up our new (to us - it's an '04) Jayco 308FBS this past weekend and brought it home for cleaning/personalization. We've had a few different RVs over the years, and really wanted a rear living area layout because we're very close to an empty nest.
Even though the layout was close to what we wanted, the standard recliners, J-Steel sofa and dinette were not really what we wanted. So once we were done cleaning and tidying, the modification process began. I removed the J-Steel cushions and frame, and then disassembled the dinette. We left the holders for the legs in the floor (at least for now) but other than that the floor was a clean slate for remodeling. We added a nice leather love seat and regular kitchen style chairs and are re-using the table for now. If we decide to add a regular table later we have that option, but right now we like the table that was part of the original dinette.
In the rear, we added a leather chair in one corner and my wife's Grandfathers old wooden rocker in the other corner. I modified a couple of nesting tables with a lamp that is attached which serves as an end table between the two chairs.
I think it makes the rear living area much more cozy. We're very happy the way it came out. We also added a new full queen mattress in the front bedroom (I'm over 6'2").
