Like all of the older Wanderlodges the dinning area seats and table are
to close together. Has anyone changed this around so this area can be used a little bit easier. I still like the idea of a table but maybe some other type of configuration. Jon 78 Wanderlodge Bremerton |

Jon,
I agree that if I was a 12 year old it would be fine, but at 62 (and a bit of a belly) it's tough to slide in and out of the dinette. We don't use it for a bed, so I don't need to worry about double duty. One easy thing would be to replace the padding in the back cushions with something about 1 inch thick. You could even make new backs using flexible wood slats and eliminate the cushion all together. That would gain about 2 to 3 inches per side and that would make a difference. I'm still thinking about it, I haven't made a plan yet.

Jon,
I am in the middle of a project that removes the table and move location of the chairs, and builds a counter with cabinets underneath for laptops and printer. The counter will be against the wall, we will sit in the aisle facing the counter and passenger side wall. It will work for dining, and for computer work. The table is out, I installed the cabinets under, and the new corian counter top is on order as of yesterday. I have mid point pics up, but it may be hard to visualize until it is complete. I took extensive measurements, laid out tape on the floor for dimensions, and have "tried" it all in advance. The laptops and printer are wireless. I will use a verizon air card for connectivity. The laptops will travel in the cabinets, but come up and out on the counter for use. The printer will stay under. I already have a cell antenna on the roof to use for the wifi modem and verizon air card. http://rides.webshots.com/album/558803468cqtBYQ is the work in progress. Remember I have a wide body, so a few more inches of aisle space to play with.

I saw some pictures somewhere and the owner replaced the dinette with a
breakfast type bar and two stools. Had a desk type PC and it looked like enough room for two grown folk to sit and eat fairly comfortably.

What a nice design. It should work well with plenty of room for all your
equipment. I too am working on somewhere to put my laptop and a printer. Haven't finalized it yet. The problem is I have other concerns. I wonder what we will do when the cable and wireless infrastructure begins to age and becomes akin to the electronics in our older coaches. It fails! When that happens, and it will some day because it is man made, I just hope I am not at Wal Mart with a cart of groceries and no cash. No cash? Crap, they don't carry change and if they did the cashier couldn't count it out without the computer operating anyway.. Keep plenty of food in the coach. Looking into the future. Something to think about. When computers crash these days everything goes dark. Lights go off and curtains fall just like on Broadway. OOOOOh. lol Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40''Smoke N Mirrors" Niceville, FL Computers drive me nuts because they cannot think. I understand reality. ----- Original Message ----- From: ac7880 To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 8:54 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Would like some idea's or pictures of how to change dinning area Jon, I am in the middle of a project that removes the table and move location of the chairs, and builds a counter with cabinets underneath for laptops and printer.

Don't read up on a massive EMP and the effects on the country if it
ever happens. If you do, you may go buy a bicycle, a fishing pole, a tent, ,grow a garden and a stock up on weapons and ammo.

Leroy,
On 5/11/07, Leroy Eckert > > I wonder what we will do when the cable and wireless infrastructure begins to age and > becomes akin to the electronics in our older coaches. It fails! Don't sweat it. Buried cables are constantly being replaced; wireless infrastructure is incredibly simple to replace and is done so even more frequently than the buried stuff due to regular technological upgrades. Besides that, even if they stopped upgrading things, the existing infrastructure will last longer than any of us. Back on topic (and yes I know this is an old subject), I'm in a different boat. I want to do something different with my dinette while retaining the ability to turn it into a bed! Not quite sure how to pull that one off yet, but I'll figure something out sooner or later. -Ryan |

Wow, that's an old one. My new computer screws up all the time. I cannot wait
until I can toss the cell phone. I read posts on Forums that discuss cost reduction. That ain't gonna happen. Never has, never will. As for the bed at the dinette I have read several posts where folks have one. I personally have never seen one but I figure you better be short. I would rather eat.
