Possible TT Modifications??

Listening to you talk, I hear that you will be spending an extended period of time in your tt and probably not returning home. This will be a temporary full-timing for you. This means much more weight added to the tt and much more space needed. Make no mistake that the average campers add 1000-1500 lbs of stuff to their tt. Fulltimers may add more. Adding the weight of the additional w/d and losing the storage space is a mistake in my mind. You will be very limited on where you can put things to begin with. Think about your clothes, dishes, pots, pans, toiletries, coats, hats, umbrellas, dog food and toys, leashes, doggie bags, flashlights, chairs, tools, firewood, leveling blocks, grill, and the list goes on. The final day you will be spending at least a couple hours cleaning up, packing up and storing everything anyways. Go put your clothes in, time it, come back to the rv and do your chores. Then go pick up your clothes. Also, I would not leave a w/d running in an rv if you are not there. Too much risk of flood and even an overheated fire. Too much damage can be done too quickly to an rv by that to risk it. Also you will use way more water than your tanks,are set up for so you will have to be on full hook up so you can do the laundry. You can also spend your last day doing whatever, come back and throw the laundry in at the laundry mat while you have supper and pack the next day depending on your departure time and how quickly you can ready for travel. I suggest you go rent a tt for a weekend and get a better feel for your usage and how campgrounds are.

On the other hand I think the dinette mod is fine. We removed our collapsible/removable table from the u dinette in our old tt. We fit a large dog crate in there with no mod and no issue. Best of luck to you and enjoy your travels.
