Dinette is skinned. The opposite side of the dinette I am making seperate as it is to be removeable. I am also building the cabinet that holds the fridge and microwave, to be removeable too. I plan on this trailer to be able to convert to a motorcycle hauler as well.

I completed the frame for the second side of my dinette. I also scored some salvage laminate for a good price and constructed my dinette table top. Here it is shown propped in place with a board to get a look.

I decided to make my dinette assymetrical; one bench is 22" deep and the other is only 19" deep. I did this so my openinglinned up with the refrigerator cabinet and provided more walkway space. This is something that is a premium in my jammed packed "Not a RV". I am over 6'-1" tall and my Wife is 5'-2", so the seating will suit each of us better.

Thanks Sharon. I have to admit I am getting a little burnt out on it and am hitting the wall. This stage is taking longer than I thought it would. I think it is my own fault for packing so much into such a small space.
