Remove Dinette? (long)

I did that very thing to my trailer. It's 22' from hitch to bumper, so the camper part is only around 19' from end to end.

Here is what it looked like after removing the benches.



We also thought about adding chairs or a couch or something, but that wasn't going to work... Just not enough room.. So, I moved the existing benches end to end and that was the ticket for us.



After cutting out for the wheel well and finishing it up, it looked like this.



If we have to eat inside, we do this.



Works for us and gaining that extra foot of floor space makes a HUGE difference inside... We talked about doing this after the first year we owned it (2002), but didn't actually do it until 2010... DOH....

Best mod we've done so far, and I've done a LOT of mods! :)

Just what works for us.. No concern on 'resale' value, because it really would not take much to put it back to a dinette again (I still have the table and all hardware).

Good luck!

Waiting for the warranty to wear out before making any modifications?? ? Just kidding. . .

Great pictures. I guess you had a compact dinette before, now have unlimited legroom to sit at the table. You could install floor mounted flush table legs, and longer table legs than your factory table legs, then use the table again (or a smaller one).
