It depends on size and what is under the dinette seats. My dinette has the fresh water tanks under the benches. My sofa is a few inches longer and has 3 huge storage drawers that pull out.

It could be a huge job, depending on how wide the dinette area is. The sofa's, assuming you're talking about a jacknife style come in some varying widths. 60", 72", 74"....there may be others, but I don't think you'll find under 60". Just google jacknife sofa, or e-bay. You could run into some other issues, like a fresh water tank under one of the dinette seats, water pump, furnace....all that needs to be considered.

not sure if that will help you or not...i too have a water tank under one bench and the electric box under the other. when i had new wood floors put in, the benches were easy enough to remove. to kill 2 birds...i had the 6'w? dinette converted into a u-shaped dinette that doubles as a "sofa". we took the big table off and stored it in case we ever want to change it back - my husband made a smaller table (half the size) and a removeable bench seat - new cushions and coordinating fabric = equals a dinette/ sofa combo where we can still eat, work off the table, or one person can sit on the back part to watch tv - keeping the bed area made! it also makes for handy boot storage under the bench part. i will try to post photos.
