My wife keeps looking through the site gallery or showcase and keeps saying her problem with a Newell is the lack of dining area customizations. She likes the bus conversions because they appear to have more choices in that area than the Newell's appear to have.:unsure:

Imput would be grateful.

Hi Marvin,

Newell does manufacturer each coach from the ground up and I would assume if you wanted a different dining area layout Newell would have no issues adjusting the construction to fit your needs.

I am sure others will jump in here with additional info

Starvin Marvin, my coach has a table and seating extension that will seat 6, but a little cozy. I suggest you post a picture and year details.

Marvin,

What type of dinette is she looking for? There seems to be only two: a fixed table with free standing chairs or a booth.

Most Newells have the booth, but I'm sure it would be easy to remove the booth seating and replace it with chairs!

I removed the booth seating on my '93 Newell to have the fabric recovered and it only involved removing about 8 s.s. screws that held the booth in place. In about 30 minutes I could have placed 4 chairs around the table and the renovation would have been complete!

Marvin, what is your wife looking for in a dining area. I realize that most Newell's have booth designs. Booths come in a few different shapes and sizes from 2-6 persons with some expandable. I had a Newell that was set up with swivel chairs for two and then another similar set up in the living room. Newell's have just as wild of a dining layout as any bus conversion I've seen.

Suggestion: Click on the tab at the top of the page where it says Gallery and go to the "Newell Showcase" and scroll the page to some of later 90's and later Newell's and look through those photo's. Please come back and tell us if there is anything your wife likes? And I Chester mentioned, maybe post a picture of something she really likes that you've seen in a bus conversion.

If you look a little further I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Ok, I got her looking a little deeper. I'll try and upload a picture of something shes been drooling over.

Something like these two example's are really appealing to my wife and like them too. Or something similar where we can enjoy a meal take up a side view at one of our favorite spots. With the option of a little tube if desired. Has anyone seen a Newell along these lines?

That is an interesting set-up for sure. Are you folks only considering a dining layout with a view looking out the side? I like it too, but it appears only two can enjoy it. Are you looking at buying a used Newell or a new one? The main reason I ask is if your going new, I am sure Newell will accommodate you with something similar or even more to your taste.

Marv, that is a very nice dining arrangement. I would want another area to accommodate other guests or family. It looks like quite a step up from the main floor to the slide portion, is this one done by Liberty Coach?
