What's behind the little door just in front of the entry door on a 78 center kitchen Royale? What's under the dinette seat there.

Thanks, I thought that's what it might be.which brings up the question what's behind the large door at the back where it usually is?

On my rear bath Royale the rear door has a sheet metal barrier behind it that hides the bath tub and plumbing. Yours maybe different.

On our '78 Royale Center Kitchen, the small door on the outside of the coach just in front of the entrance door leads to a sheet metal lined storage area under the rear dinette seat. The big propane tank is behind the big door at the rear of the coach on the passenger side, just like the Onan is on the driver's side.

Thanks, that makes sense. The rear bath doesn't have room for it at the back but the center kitchen would. Sounds like a good place to store a trolley Jack tools etc ......and would be easier to change if I wanted two captains chairs instead of a dinette.....

Pete,
On my center kitchen Royale, the dinette has been removed and 2 chairs have been installed in its place.
I personally think the chairs are a much better setup.
To really do it right, you should remove the incline on the floor (which I have not done yet), but can still be done with the incline.
I am in the process of removing the barrel chairs and putting in wall hugger reclining chairs. I have one in already, and I couldn't be happier!!
Send me your email, and I will send you some pictures of the chairs.
