One of the things were not big fans of in our coach is the booth dinette. The storage is nice, but we often have dinner for four or play table games at the dinette. Our previous coach had the table and four chairs with a buffet (really handy).

Could someone with a newer Dutch Star that has a dinette and chair setup please post a photo. I can't find a photo of the setup in Newmar info. If it's not unreasonably priced, I may be looking at changing mine out.

Thanks

We have the stock dinette in our 4318 with the 8" counter, 4 chairs (2 folding) and a leaf to extend the table.

We are going to Nappanee next week to have that removed and the Buffett option installed with a 24" counter, computer desk and extendable table. Ours is so cluttered with work a picture would be meaningless, I will look and see if we took some pictures before we moved in.

Found a picture:

Just to give you an idea of possible cost, Newmar is charging us a little under $4,000 to do the work.

We need this 24" counter to support our vinyl printer/cutter which now resides on the floor under the table, the printer is 20"x40" and weighs 80 pounds.

Thanks Bill...that's what I was looking for. What are you doing with the old setup?

Hadn't thought about it, for sure I am not taking it with me.
I am not sure what the condition would be, the existing table may be reused in the construction, I don't know. The chairs will not be replaced.
According to Newmar they have to deconstruct the entire wall from the fridge to the long window behind the recliner.

Thanks.......They must really attach the cabinets well to the walls. That price doesn't sound that bad.

Some may think we are nuts, but I'm pulling out the King size Sleep Number bed and replacing it with a king. For us, they just squeezed too much bed into the room and it's a nightmare to make everyday or change the sheets. We had a quality queen in our last coach and it worked well.
