If someone has done it they'll know... I want to take the (original) dinette out of my Palm Beach and put it in my Transmode.  There's room, and it would do fine.  The question is, can the original dinette which folds to a double bed be got out through the door of the coach?

Johnny, my 76 Eleganza parts coach had a dinette/bed and it came out easily through the door. You just lay it out flat and carry it out sideways. I did it by myself. I suspect you can stick the back through, swing around, and take the legs out also.

Thanks.  Mama decided the wide single on the other side of my coach ain't big enough for the both of us.  I can strap the crates to it when we've got more'n 1 BWD to haul.
Which remnids me.  We have 2 BWDs looking for a rehome, their Persion died and the kids don't want to keep them.  They're in the Miami area.  3 y/o bitch and I believe the other is an older bitch.  Interested? Let me know, I'll put you in touch with the breeder.

What we did was take the 2 benches and line them side by side rather than
facing each other. I had to notch out the one to fit over the step. I
left space behind to store our Tea Tables and 2 Lawn Chairs. It will still
fold out to provide a longer bed and enough width to sleep an adult. We
have slept 2 smaller children on it as well. IT gives us more room in the
area.

And Yes they will fit through the door opening.

I took them out of the other coach so I could install a new floor through
out.

That's a possibility I hadn't considered.  I'm short table space, and the rear bench has to come off the wall far enough to fit over the furnace.  But it muight work.  Thanks!

Dwayne - could you post some pictures of your bench rework? It sounds like something we may wish to consider.

Nope - don't do facebook. No kids or grandkids to keep track of. I also avoid putting personal info on the net as much as possible. I don't like Google or Facebook. I feel they have too many intrusions and privacy problems. Remember on both of these entities, as well as others, you are not a customer, you are an advertising contact to be delivered, with your personal info, to those who are paying for those services.

I realize others may not feel this way and that is their choice. Just remember the old saying: "Just because you're paranoid does not mean you are wrong."

For more years than I can really remember, my version of Steve's statement is, "Just
because I'm paranoid, it does not mean that the b@stards aren't really out to get me!

I don't do facebook or tweets for the same reasons that Steve mentioned!

I know what you mean, but there isn't any reason you have to give them CORRECT personal info. For example: my "Internet" birthday is the Jan 1 closest to my true birthday.
