I am quietly progressing in my search for a GMC. I found a local Eleganza that has some appealing features but the interior poses a problem. The original bunk beds have been replaced by a non-converting couch. The dinette behind the passenger seat (i.e. two benches with a table between) has also been removed to create more space. I need to sleep five (including three kids) so the original fold-up bunk bed arrangement is essential. None of the original parts are with the coach. My question is: how much hassle/effort would it be to restore the original layout? Is there a market for the old bunk beds and dinette? Is this a realistic project or should I move on?

Keith,

Or build that dinette bench and table out of plywood like Avions.

I started with barrel chairs and a fold down table, I thought I'd like it.
I didn't.
So I found an original Flex steel dinette and original table.
The dinette was in terrible shape, I got it upholstered cheap ( and it looks it ) so I could decide if I liked the dinette, I do.
It's taken me a couple of years to do the conversion. The dinette and table are hard to find.

Figure $2000 to upholster the dinette, maybe the same for the bunks, if you want it to be nice.

So I recommend buying one with the layout you want, it's way easier and lots faster.
