We don't have a traditional dinette, but rather a couch that is the full length of the slide, 12'. There are 2 small tables that can be set up when needed. This serves us much better than a dinette & couch, or a table & chairs & couch. We typically have between 2 & 8 people camping, usually 7 or 8, so this gives us lots of open floor space & lots of table space when not eating outside.
Everyone's needs are different, but after 11 years with this fifth wheel, and the setup seems just about perfect for us. I did have new seat cushions made for the couch though because the originals were just awful.
And grand kids are always welcome.
