Hi, is the dinette in a 2004 model smaller than the dinette in the newer models…?
From what I can tell from the pictures, the no-slide dinette in that 2004-2551, is nearly identical to our no-slide dinette in our 2007-2350.
CLICK HERE FOR MANY PICTURES OF OUR 2350 NO-SLIDE DINETTE. For dimensionals, I am 5'-11" tall. When our dinette is setup into a bed, laying flat on my back with my heels touching one end, I feel my hair touching the other end.
The pictured dinette seems to have a shorter front-favoring backrest meaning the bench might be closer to the driver seat, or the finished angular transition wall protrudes more. Then again, it just might be an illusion, making it identical to ours.
Pending the PC model and features, a dinette inside a slide-out is sometimes smaller because the slide-out itself cannot utilize the angular transition wall like the no-slide version, which pushes the front dinette bench about 9 or more inches rearward. As a result, the table gets tiny, along with a serious lack of legroom.
There are a rare few 2351s and 2552s out there, custom ordered without a slideout. If also ordered without the adjacent panty/closet, the size of the dining table is exceptional along with piles of legroom, both of which I consider to be "tops." Our dinette works well, but bigger (benches farther apart with a bigger table) would be better.
