Are there any access ports underneath the dinette cushions so that you can take a look? Or can you tell from the outside access if the depth is all storage? That would let you know what might be under there. Each unit is so different.

With ours, we discovered the furnace was underneath one of the dinette booths.. others have found other critical elements (plumbing, wiring, etc.). We decided we wanted the dinette gone over having a furnace.. which has worked out pretty well for us so far. (We just use space heaters for the rare chilly nights we encounter.)

Keep us informed we have a 2007 Sunnybrook fiver we plan to remove the dinette from and replace it with a table and chairs also, hate to loose our "food pantry" but we don't like the arrangement. I like your screen idea for the outside access ports.

One thing to keep in mind is the back-board of the bench will usually act as a gusset from the wall to the floor of the slide. Once remove that.................your gusset support for the floor is GONE.

Great look and table and chairs look more comfortable than dinette. Maybe some day I'll get my wish and remove ours. By the way, how come you haven't mentioned the fur people? Do they travel with you?
