Sold the Truck Campers, bought a Class B

My main complaint (like you) about truck campers is the horrible seating in the dinette. Nearly every one suffers from this. Why don't the manufacturers get a clue? Oh, I forgot, its the RV industry....

The reason they make them this way is so the bolt upright and too low back cushions can be knocked down in between the too flat seat cushions on top of the flimsy dropped down table to make a too small bed for anyone but kids and midgets. I'm sure there is a segment of the buying demographic that needs that too small bed for some kids or midgets they have brought along. That is a lot of compromise for a fraction of the customer base. What about an option with higher, sloped backs and contoured seats like the rest of the civilized world uses????

Would be interested in pictures of dinette removal and recliner install when you do this.

I am about to tear the dinette out of my Bigfoot and replace it all with two comfortable seats. The bed that it makes is only large enough for a medium sized dog, and the seating position amounts to criminal abuse - what were they thinking? Is it that important to be able to say on the brochure "Sleeps 4 (as long as 2 are small children or dwarfs)"? I'd like to have a few RV execs sit in one of those for six hours on a rainy day (at gunpoint, if necessary) and then have them smile into the camera and say "that was comfortable..." if they could still stand up.
