  • Replace dinette with a theater seating arrangement

    Hi all...we just purchased a 2021 Imagine XLS 22RBE that came with the U-shaped dinette. We're not sure we like this setup as compared to theater seating. My question is would it be hard to replace the dinette with the theater seating?

    Thanks!

    First--this is an opinion. I have no actual hands-on experience with your Imagine trailer.

    However, given your Imagine's slide was assembled as one unit and then the dinette (or theater seating) was added per the build sheet, it looks like a fairly easy swap. There may be cosmetic issues (holes from screws, etc) left in the walls and floor but they will be hidden by the theater seating.

      Two more thoughts. Check to ensure there's an electrical outlet in the slide. It *should* be in the back (aft) corner on the wall. You'll need that outlet to power the theater seat's electrical components.

      Second, usually the hardest part is wrestling the old furniture out and getting the new furniture into the trailer. The entry door sometimes makes this challenging.

        Good advice and photos by howson

        We did that on our previous TT and it made our living space much more comfortable. The backs of the recliners come off making it easier to get thru the door. We bought a couple of portable tray tables to eat from.

          Might you be able to provide me a little information/support?
          Looks like your dinette has a pedestal,
          I'm in the process of replacing my folding dinette support with a pedestal.
          Looks like we have the same table top so with that said could you possibly provide me with some dimensions of where the pedestal attaches to the floor in relationship to the u-shape seats and the same to the table top.
          We have the Imagine 2450RL and the folding table supports is very cumbersome in our opinion so we purchased a pedestal.
          I planned to mock it up in position and go from there but a couple dimension would be very helpful.
          Thanks in advance.

            After thinking a bit longer just the show the position of the pedestal to table location. I've added a link to the tabletop diagram:

            I can manage the floor position based on the tabletops position to make the bed arrangement.
            Again thanks

              I recently quoted a customer for a theater seating swap & labor. Approximately $2k.
