22FBS - Replace dinette with recliners?

[Tstartsman]

OK. Finally removed the sofa and installed a custom-made "credenza". This gives us a place to de-clutter the kitchen counter, additional pantry storage and a place to eat. We're using folding stools from WalMart (about $13 each) and cut the legs down to fit under the slide-out table. The stools, when folded, fit in the 4" - 5" of space between the outside wall and the side of the credenza.

Inserted photo below - hope it comes through.

Here's a link to several photos of the interior re-do, including removing the dinette and replacing with recliners.

Tstartsman,

Great mods Tstartsman! Did you have someone make that credenza for you? It's amazing.

Well, finished this mod. Would of had it done sooner but I'm trying to do many things at once!
Gotta quit doing that!!!!
Anyway, here is the slide out with dinette removed and recliners in place......



All that's left is to install a piece of trim where the dinette was which is on order from Heartland.
AND ordered a table lamp that will bolt to the table to keep it in place while traveling.

NOW, here is the dinette in the spot where the fold down couch was......



In all, it took 5 days (if I did it start to finish) to do this MOD, and $80 in materials!!
