It’s that dang pesky wall angle – it’s roomier at the bottom than it is at the top, so our backrest framing had to be adjusted accordingly. You may be asking why the main backrest ledge is a 1x3 while the others are 1x4s. If you went ahead and purchased an RV with a booth dinette because you anticipated it getting the family closer and providing a little more seating when it comes time for everyone to hunker down for a yummy meal together, but now find that your rosy. You can see in the second photo below the overhang that’s going on with the top ledges vs. RV Mod: Replace Your Booth Dinette With a Freestanding Dinette January 10, 2014. Remember, the more the hangs over, the more sitting space it’s going to take up (and the more it’s gonna be jabbin’ you in the back). We dry fit our 1x4 (on the wings) and 1x3 (main/center) top ledges, making sure to nail them in so that when we nailed in our 1/4” plywood backs we’d have a minimal (I’m talking, like, 1/16-1/8” maximum) overhang. Using the USB outlets (the boxy part, not the cover!) as templates, we used our drill and jigsaw to cut out where our outlets would go in each of the side ledges. After we had the backrest frame built, we drilled holes through the backrest supports and/or ran the wiring through/behind the vertical supports to our two outlet locations in the wings. We made sure before we closed in our bench that we pulled our pre-run red and black 12V wiring out with enough slack to run to our outlets (one on each side) when we were ready. While it the plywood doesn’t need to be exactly the size of the frame (because of how we planned on trimming it later) we needed to make sure the plywood didn’t stick up any higher than the 2x4 seat because we needed a nice flush top for the next step in the build… We sandwiched the 2x4s, securing the plywood with finish nails.

This was to give us full access from the external hatch since the bottom of the door already lines up with the floor of the camper and we didn’t need to make the access area any shorter.Īfter the main base frame was built, we began closing in the sides using 1/4” plywood. You may have noticed instead of running a bottom footer board along 100% of the base, we left a small gap in the center frame on the wall side. We secured the 2x4s to each other and to the floor.
Knowing we wanted to use one of our wings for fresh water tank storage (the one on the right), we started by building the wings as full, uninterrupted cabinets and then filling in the space between with the centered bench.
