Does anybody have any pictures of what the dinette looks like and what are the dimesions of it when folded down? I am looking into buying a GMC for the first time and I am rather tall, 6 ft 2 in, and am afraid that I am just too tall for sleeping in that thing.

I am 6'2" also and have slept on the dinette, but I prefer the sofa. Hope this helps

Michael.

This doesn't answer your question directly, however, it may be of some help.

If you want to sleep side by side (head towards the front of the coach feet
towards the rear or vice versa) with your partner you will need to get a
rear twin model or a rear bath model (couches that convert to beds in the
middle of the coach).

The rear twin model beds are:

Royale (Transmode with interior by Coachman): 74 in long
Avion (Transmode interior by Avion): 75 in long
Edgemonte (GMC with interior by GMC): 77 in long

All three of these models have a nightstand in between the beds that you
would take out and you would wind up with a King size bed.

IIRC Landau and Santana also built rear twin models but I don't know what
the length of the beds was.

I am 6 ft 1 1/2 in and sleep quite well in my Avion.

Unfortunately I do not remember what the length of the beds in the rear bath
models was.

Did you look at any of the links I provided, or even read any of the replies, the last time you asked this question?

I did and it helped quite a bit. I think the Royal will fit my needs. Even have the wife excited about getting one. Thanks for the info.
