Replaced the table with reclining loveseat

I have almost finished the replacement of my dinnette with a Lazy Boy reclining loveseat.

We had decided to either sell the TC and buy a B+, or modify the TC to where we could rest a little better when spending a week in one place. I decided to try this first and see how it goes.



1st. I removed the table and cshions and eveything loose. I then removed the right bench by removing all screws, lots of screws and some were hard to remove at the rear, if it is not loose, you still have screws.

2nd. I then removed the heater and central duct works, and removed the propane feed line, reqired the connectors. This takes a few hours, again the screws are numerous and some are difficult to remove.
I had to sawzall some between the fridge and bench. I could have removed the fridge, but that seemed to time consuming.



3rd. I removed the overhead bunk, which had never been used. It did not weigh as much as I thought.




I found a nice leather Lazyboy on craigs list for $160. I think the Lazyboy is the only recliner which allows the back to be removed, which you must do in oreder to get it through the door. The lazy boy is a heavy unit. It takes 2 people and a little engineering to get it in and back together. Its a simple mantter of placing the couch where you can recline enough for the foot rest to come up. I have about 8 inches between the bath wall and my feet when reclined.

Ok....photobucket is hung up....will shut all down and add last pics
