Have you called Kermit about this? He might help you pay for your change. Asking can never hurt.

My last message from Kermit on another mis step was to pay for it myself. So I have not asked anything again.
He seems spread too thin already. Might be better to do more directing and less physical labor which I saw when
we were there. And then things might be handled better. Free advice is worth every penny. No Bill printed.
Regards, Patricia
P S I will keep it on my to do list. Thanks much.

My 2013 PC2100 has gray leather seats exactly like the ones in the picture Ron posted of the 2017. Over 20,000 miles and they and the front seats are holding up great. Can't imagine how you ever got the ones in your original photo.

Henry J, what am I looking at behind the right side of your dinette? It appears to be a wooden wall where the wing wall or  driver seat would be.

There is a piece of plywood covered with vinyl attached to the wall behind each side of the dinette. The seat back is attached to a shorter (in height) piece that is as wide as the seat back.  And the seat backs are screwed into that piece in 3 or 4 places.. The seat back is not directly attached to the slide wall. The passenger seat is some distance away. and  now it is comfortable to sit 2 people. And it means we paid more for the redo than we paid on the orig to get vinyl upholstery. Had no idea we needed to pick an upholsterer too.  there are a couple lessons learned I have not mentioned.  Patricia
PS If you are looking at the new install the wooden wall is at the main entrance to the RV in the back ground the slide has wooden trim on the face of the slide. Behind that is the gasket seal

HenryJ/Patricia,

So I take it then that your dinette cannot be converted into a bed?  I don't see the little "rests" for the table when making up a bed.  Nothing about your dinette looks right.  It's like I am looking at a different brand of motor home.  Are you certain you did not ask for anything unique with regards to the dinette?

One thing I always liked about our dinette is that we have the option to convert it into a bed and also a day bed, a decent size couch by adding large backrest & armrest pillows.  It won't be a reclining couch like many PC owners have these days, but it surely offers a ton of storage underneath.

I did not want it to make a bed... But the table is the one I assume that makes a bed..and since Mr often sits and reads there I wanted it to be comfortable seats.. We had great one in the Allegro Bus (traded in) but whatever PC does was not my choice it was someone else's.  And the table looks like the one that might make a bed.. Not sure what could sleep there.. dog would not want to. PWS
