Travel Trailer Renovations: Part Three – Demolition in the Kitchen
I started by removing the dinette because it was the easiest to get at and I wanted to get rid of it anyway. The dinette provides storage space under the seats and turns into a bed, which for a lot of families can be really helpful. For us, it isn’t. We still have the jackknife couch if we need to sleep a guest (or a few kids), and the dinette is not comfortable as an everyday seating area. Also, it takes up a lot of floor space and wall space that I need for my kitchen counters. Taking it apart involved my power screwdriver to get out the brackets that connected it to the floor. I also had to unscrew the table from the wall. The rest of the dinette was held together with staples, and it was pretty flimsy. A few kicks and good hard tugs and I had it apart.
