Hello :) we are considering purchasing a used 17 MKE. It has one slideout with theater seating. I know its the unpopular choice, but we would much prefer a u shaped dinette. Is it possible to purchase a dinette and swap out?
 
Anything is possible with the proper application of enough money. :) I would think that getting all the measurements and start shopping around at RV dealers to see if anything stock would fit your slide. If all else fails something could be custom built.
 
Thank you! And yes..proper application of money..I love that! Looking at other posts, it seems that many people want to do the opposite so maybe we could find someone trying to get rid of a dinette :)
 
Watching thoughts on this thread. At some point in upcoming retirement we will move from a TT to a 5th Wheel. In looking at GD and other brands it looks like standard tables that seat 4+ people are going the way of the dinosaur. We love playing cards and I can't imagine not having a standard table where 2 couples can sit across from each other.
 
Exactly! Or even two people wanting to sit across from one another for cards or a meal.
 
We're in the group that wants a dinette. Our trailer came with a stand-alone dinette that had two chairs and a moveable bench. Since most of the time it is just two of us the bench is used as a coffee table in front of the couch and the back is stored behind the recliners. Should we need all of the available seating the bench and back go back in place and the two chairs are side-by-side as the factory made it.
 
thought: remove the theater seating, replace with a table and 2 storage benches with seating; or 4 stand alone chairs. the table can mount on the wall and drop down if needed, or have folding leg(s).
