Wanted to buy a dinette for birchaven, Royale or coachman. Don't need table, just the seating that makes into bed.

Thanks

How much are you into making your coach truly stock?

The reason I ask is, I picked up a full set of Palm Beach seating a while back. Many have switched from dinettes to couches or bucket type seating. It might be easier to find discarded "GMC" items. Possibly even local to you. (Shipping is more expensive than many used dinettes are worth.) The "GMC" style do not have the odd padded thing on the end of the seat. Without measuring, I think the GMC Dinettes are a little narrower than the ones in my Birch.

OR... You could build a wooden framed dinette. While not as good as seating, I find the foam cushions better for sleeping. Metal famed seats are a little more flexible... you can change the back angle.

I have seen wooden framed dinettes with foam cushions in some Birchavens. A few where VERY nice. While this was common in the 1973/74 GMC coaches, I do not think they where stock in the Birchavens.... unless they where VERY early (1976) Birches.

I have thought about that but didn't want to get started on a total redo of the interior yet. Hey, I will be in McMinnville this weekend for Emory's Porsche Campout. If your close and like nice foreign cars it's a great place to go.

Got it! Best in beige but also in blue, but recover this one.
I am in Houston and they are heavy,but are the late type folds into a bed and does not have the wooden frame of the early type like my 1976 GMC.
Price $150 + shipping..........Thx, Michael at G$EMRECS

Michael, can you send a picture and calculate shipping to
zip code 92701?

Or if you have someone traveling this way or to the Phoenix or Tucson area?

I will call too.
