Anybody here have a 30' side entry Breakaway? On mine, the passenger's chair can not be fully reclined or moved back because it hits the dinette chair. I have relocated the dinette chair as far to the rear as I can but it still in not in a good location for easy use. The dinette chair must be rotated around forward so that the passengere's chair reclines into the dinette seat, if the dinette seat is facing the table, the backs of the chairs hit each other when the passenger' chair is in a comfortable riding position.

Any ideas? Thanks



I am contemplating removing the dinette chair and making a long runner so that the passenger's chair can be rotated and moved back to serve as the dinette chair when at site.

Hey Ed, I have the identical side entrance 30' setup as you. We rarely need to recline the front seat so it hasn't been an issue. I did remove the dinette chair closest to the entry door and in it's place I put a leather recliner with otoman...great for watching TV while my wife watches laying down on the couch. I would be interested to see what you come up with..

How 'bout moving the table forward - that's how my 28' Breakaway (front entrance) is - the passenger chair rotates to the table, and then there's room for a recliner.

When I was designing the interior in my coach I felt that the best way to utilize the space was to do just that. It gives you more room for the passenger and saves on floor space. Perfect for people with big feet.



It's not a breakaway, but you get the idea...

We too have a 94 Breakaway but with the front entrance..the passenger seat swivels to comfortably access fold out dining table...I agree with the idea of just moving your dining table storage unit forward along with the second chair (ours is used as a dining chair and comfortable lounge chair as its not fastened to the floor) what you've got to deal with looks very awkward.

Thanks for all the ideas! I had initially thought about moving the table forward but, we like the window to be available for both seated at the table, if the table is moved forward then there is no view fromt the passengers seat when rotated backwards.

The chair by the side entrance is a recliner and I like that, I watch TV from there while my wife stretches out on the coach!

I have a slide design that I am working with that will allow the table to remain in it's current position and the passenger's seat rotated and slid all the way back to the table and here is the "but" to that one, a lot of space will be not usable, to slide the seat back that area would have to be clear. maybe a movable storage unit or something. It must be kept simple because what we have to do now works but is not simple or convenient!

Again thanks, any bright ideas would be welcomed. I will post some pictures of the slide in a few weeks.
