I had asked the same question before, but in reverse. I was curious if a sofa could be turned into a dinette.

If your craftsman skills are good, you can make most of it yourself. You'd have to build the sofa, make cushions, redo the floor, and relocate the furnace.

If you want it to look as factory as possible, you may be able to have Trailmanor send out the sofa and table, I'm not sure. You may be able to find these parts here ( http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...splay.php?f=17 ), but you'd still have to redo the carpeting for the floor, or change it into vinyl plank as some have.

If you're not sure you can do this yourself, I'm sure most cabinet shops could fabricate and install something for you. The only hard part would be relocating the furnace. I'm sure anyone licensed to work with propane could do that for you.

Keep in mind that if you make this yourself, or have some one do it, it would likely increase the tongue weight quite a bit unless you use lightweight materials.

It appears as if you live about 12 hours away from the factory. You may be able to get a dinette model, tow it to the factory, and have them convert it for you. They would use the lightweight materials for sure, but this might be more time consuming than it's worth. You could drive up there, pick up the sofa and tables, bring them back to South Fork, and have some one install it for you.

Others may have some solutions that I didn't think of.
