32". One inch over on each site. Can not use it for the bed, but easy to make your own and store underneath the mattress.

Thanks, I like it.

We did the same as you, Marry. We have a 5.0 TA and chose to not get the bathroom sink. We had the toilet paper holder installed on the little slanted wall behind and to the side of the toilet. This gives extra space to shower in. We love this set up. We have had a Scamp and a Casita with bathroom sinks and we are very happy with our choice to not have one this time.

Thanks for posting the additional photos, Marry.

I didn't know those back cushions came in two sections. The ones I flung around at ETI while taking photos were one piece.

I dunno, some sock monkeys snuck into your trailer. I hope you're aware of that. They're sneaky devils and will take over the entire place if you don't pay attention. Pretty soon you're going to have sock monkey towels, pillows, curtains, bedspread, sheets and who knows what else.

I'm sure your sock monkeys could have a discussion with all the cat stuff that's gonna go in our trailer.

I see how you can get those 4 drawers in there since you moved the sink and stovetop around. How's that set up working for ya?

Yep, that's one nifty table. I wonder how many other round ones they're now making! I remember you talking about it during your build, but had no idea it would look so nice. How did you determine what size to get? I'm thinking that would be good for some crafting time! We're getting the flip up counters, but they won't work for that, so I've been trying to figure out what to do (don't want the standard table as it's too big for us). Will have to ponder that some more.

Oh, and why round instead of just a smaller square/rectangle table?

Thanks Marry!

Do you think it'll be pretty stable with only one leg? I'd think it might wobble around when it's used unless it's really locked into place.

Marry - forgot to say that your flooring reminds me of a Tetris game with rows of different colored tiles. Although it's not quite as colorful at a Tetris game. Looks nice.

The U shape dinette cushions come in 2 sections, the longer ones to fit up against the rear bench seat cushions. The two smaller ones are extra, as their space is taken already by the rear bench.
The standard dinette does use a one piece back rest cushion on each side though.

I chose for a round one for a better access on the bathroom side, as well as for a more cozy look. The size I came up with after some kindergarten play time: drawing up a u shape, cut different sizes circles, figuring out what worked best. (Had quite some fun with it while others kept on making fun of me)

For the counter top and drawers: love it! No more stuff all the way back down in the cabinet. Room for cell phone, glasses, etc. on the counter top within hand reach from the bed. Also put a 12v USB charger on top of the empty counter space, umbra hooks up in that corner. Easy to hang stuff when charging and out of the way.

Love your round table! We removed ours altogether but if we had one, I would prefer round for sure.

Marry, not sure I understand how your long cushions work if you a using the dinette as a bed?
We will be getting an additional round table similar to yours (thanks for the inspiration!). We are planning two 13" filler boards so we will be able to make up the bed when we travel with the round table.

From the left over fabric I am planning on making two equal sized filler boards, as well as two the same size platforms. Both halves of what is needed to make a bed.
This way I can use it as a lounge as well by using one part, removing the table and posts, and bring in our little fold up table from outside.
Pretty much the same as your idea, only a little less money. Plus I like the sleek look of the one piece back rest. (We pretty much travel with only the two of us and Pepper, our King Charles.

[Marry]

Also: nice to use those two half cushions as extra back rest while dining inside. The seats are quite deep....

Just wanted to post our first pics from ETI of the trailer underway in production. I found pics like these very helpful when we first decided on an Escape. Details of construction and layout can be seen showing the quality and craftsmanship.
The item on the floor in two pieces is the shower/washroom. Very cool...

[Marry]

The Noble Nest's empty shell! Isn't it exciting these first pictures? And now only a few weeks left till she is done. Looking forward to see her progress! (Don't forget to post!!)

[kendo]

Here are the latest. For those who have toured ETI you will recognize the production line as it currently exists. Really cool to see a parade of trailers in various states of completion. They all look so good!

We now have some cabinetry inside and some wiring started it appears. Solar panel on the roof. It's coming together.

Fantastic Kendo! Love The Classic Photos!

Hi Marry...if you don't mind me asking....how much extra did ETI charge you for going with the 32" round table instead of the stock one which would make into a bed?

I love the look of your round table and am debating whether I should request that on my build sheet and have two filler boards made to make the bed instead.

[kendo]

These pics rolled in this aft. from ETI. Lots more progress since last week. Some appliances installed. Countertop for the kitchen area done. We pick up in 23 more sleeps but whose counting!

I'm not Marry, but I can answer that for her as I had the same question. Nothing extra! She had the round table made instead of the standard size table.

And yeah, I really like that look as well.
