Has anyone ever converted a dinette into a couch that folds down into a bed? I found a trailer I like but it's got the dinette that I don't want. If possible what would an approx cost be?

I've been looking on line. You can see samples of couches at the Camping World site. (I always feel better deals may be found) But I'd think it would not be that difficult to change

The biggest problem is there can be a watertank and pump, plumbing, etc, under the seat(s) of most dinette/sofa's. That all has to be changed before a switch can be made from dinette to sofa. This can be fairly a expensive process, as there can be a lot of manhours involved in the process. I would definitely have someone make the switch that is used to working with RV waterlines, to make sure there is no leaks when you get done making the switch. Good luck to you.

My first LQ trailer had a dinette which converted to a bed. I loved that feature. When I moved up to a larger trailer I couldn't find one with a dinette so settled for the sofa. I love my trailer but still would have preferred a dinette.
