As I mentioned above, I'm thinking of gutting some useless to me furniture out and putting it in storage, to use my small folding camping furniture instead and even folding it up, as needed, to make space.
This might not be an option in a smaller RV: my Thor 22E has a "regular" dinette, and before we actually took ownership, my brain was switching the "regular" dinette to some sort of a "lounge" for more sitting comfort. Once I got the MH, I realized that the dinette benches are heavily utilized for "stuff" - one side holds my freshwater tank/drains; the other side has a drawer, and then the pump and other various boxes. Altering my dinette will be difficult at best - I solved the comfort problem by ordering an "unstuffed pouf" from Amazon - a fabric cube about 16 x 16 x 12" that I stuffed with extra blankets, and it makes a nice armrest/backrest.
I see! I thought of taking out a sofa and a swiwel chair.
Dinettes are really meant for groups of people/families, unfortunately there're little RV options for single people, where space takes preference over furniture. Ideally I'd want something gutted with only the kitchen and bathroom left, but if I completely gut the RV there's a resale question, so I have to pay for storage to store that stuff somewhere, then reinstall, etc.
I found only one without a dinette, by design but it's way overpriced/asking way over NADA value (more than 2X), I think it's a risky buy considering I need to resell in 2 years. If I was buying for life then may be it'd be less of a concern.
