Hello all!
I have had my 2016 2351 for 2 years now and thinking about some renovations. This is my first RV so would appreciate any advice about the advisability of my current plan.
Dinette/Bed: Have found that this bed is really too short for visiting adults (67 inches). Thinking of replacing dinette with a fold out bed. There are numerous DIY plans for a couch that would fold out to a normal bed length into the aisle area. Would then purchase a folding table to replace dinette table.
Painting: it may be just me but I don't like the gray with the cherry cabinets and floor. Thinking of finding a paint that matches ceiling material and painting the walls AND the padded areas rather than reupholstering the padded areas. As they aren't in high use locations, thought maybe the paint would work. That would give me a more uniform color background.
Countertops: anyone use Epoxy coating to change the color of the countertop. Seems sad to cover up nice Corian but really do not like the gray. Removing and replacing with a new countertop probably $800.
Backsplash: have seen many postings on Pinterest of using stick on tiles for the backsplash.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!!

Dont know how far along you are on renovations, but we would gladly trade a power fold out couch in good shape for the dinette. If you wandered here to get it I would help you trade it out. hithere

Volkemon,
You have a slide out in a 2006 model year 2350. Our dinette will NOT fit inside your slide out. I have seen pictures long ago, someone had one inside. The table and one bench fits inside. There was no room for the second bench.
Study the pictures HERE (https://www.flickr.com/photos/37432012@N08/albums/72157682846402944) of our dinette without a slide out. The front-most dinette bench has an angle cut to utilize the wall space of the transition wall as shown below. It also utilizes the space gained from the perimeter wood trim required for a slide out. It's all about having adequate "linear" wall space. For reference, I am 5'-11" and can just fit laying on my back stretched out when the dinette is made into a bed.
