Dinette Benches or Sofa
Interesting on the the slide thread that some people don't actually like their sofas while I've read here a few times about it being an upgrade. It's the first I've heard of looking at the bathroom, f...

I have a bronco 1500. I converted the dinette into a couch. If you are camping, most of time, you will eat outside.
I simply bought a goodwill couch for $25 and used the cushions. All I needed to do was cut a piece of plywood for the base. Makes darn near a twin bed for the 10 year old to sleep on and a lot more comfortable than the dinette cushions.
There is not enough room to sit up in the overhead bunk. So if I am stuck inside camper, I can do what I need on the couch. Really didn't like the short seat and straight backs. Felt like I was in grammar school.
will do a couple of more cabinet relocating this summer to add the arm rests from the old couch, then I (or another adult) can actually lay on the couch to rest if needed.
Also going to figure out how to make recliners for it. I have a couple of 12v linear actuators. I saw in a CMT Trick my truck show, where they used them to make the recliner lift up and down. thinking about going that route, just because!
Now in the bronco, the dinette/couch is across from the stove/sink and I can look out the window, so no I don't stare at the bathroom door. That was actually one of the first things to take out to gain more storage.
