So true Ross ! Even though we have done a lot to improve the dinette sitting , sure wish it was designed and improved a lot better then it is ! Pat

RV pantries are easily made. Should be simple for ETI to put together.

The buyer of our 05 17B several years ago, built a floor to ceiling full pantry just inside the entry door on the refrigerator side. It was one of the coolest 17B mods I've seen and very surprised I haven't seen more copies.

What did he do with the screen door?

Sara's website is gone but I was able to find the 17B renovation pictures on the wayback machine.

This is a one-of-a-kind, pantry is down about half way.
Enjoy

yes... agree there!

Since tables are flat and the TV is flat maybe it could serve a dual purpose

I love creative engineering... and believe we can get a little nice LR type set up with dual dining function!

IMHO investigate the new "film layer" flexible, folding TVs they are working on..they apparently can be glued to almost any surface..say a bathroom door or a cabinet door, making a stand alone TV nearly obsolete.

cool!

thanks for sharing this! gorgeous! All/any of this would make a proud Limited Edition RV. Everyone spends more time in their LR than DR. I'm surprised that hasn't evolved more in these RV's. Hoping someone is thinking about this!

Agreed Sam, the pantry might make it more compelling especially with the slide out upper shelves (above the table) however I am still trying to answer my wife's question - is there enough different between the 21 LE and the 19 to make the switch or is the 5.0 TA the way to go. We had Donna D.'s answer earlier in the thread : )

currinh · 10-17-2019, 08:14 PM

Wow. That's the trailer we've been hoping for, at 21' in a 19' layout. We'd be really interested. That is, if it has a larger kitchen counter.

But, we just bought a 25' Bigfoot. Front dinette, rear walk around queen, more counter space, oven, lots of storage, dry bath. Also has good insulation, large 'fridge, central heating, etc.

Well, it does like a 3/4 ton diesel pickup (12mpg), is wider (and longer) than our 19, and costs more. But we do like it.

A month too late, but thanks to Escape.

That's one benefit of the guard changing; they're not stuck in the same mould

True!

wonder if will be an option to have either front dining or rear dining? Looks like a similar space to my crooked eyes.

That would be cool...
then i could make the back side into my LR... where my views hopefully will be!

If you want to design your own trailer, there are things you need to consider. You can't just shove stuff around in a rectangle. There is placement of the wheel wells and the door ( which needs to be wide enough for baby boomers ). There is the weight of the trailer and balance, front and back and side to side. There is efficient wiring and plumbing.

It's really easy to draw straight lines with a ruler and pencil on a sheet of graph paper.

I'm sure there is plenty to consider!

cpaharley2008 · 10-18-2019, 07:15 AM

I like the front and rear dinette set up because of the choices it would allow. You get tired of sleeping in the front, switch to the back or vice versa.

Hollybee · 10-19-2019, 07:23 PM

LOL the 'boss' said it well.."dinette in front? So I have to look out at the tow vehicle and the bathhouses and traffic? No way..." ie we are glad we ordered the std E21

oksourdough · 11-12-2019, 09:16 PM

Yes flip the layout around. Im planning on wintering on the baja with the unit backed onto the beach. Would love to sit at the dinette and be able to stare out at the ocean through all those big windows when I'm not outside in my lawn chair. Not too much to ask really.

tukwilma · 11-12-2019, 10:48 PM

We recieved our updated build sheet for the 21'NE. Getting closer! We were happy we got to go into the new layout last month and 'feel' it. The front dinette isn't as big as the queen bed in the back, so swapping them wouldn't give you a queen bed. There's not enough room between the door and the front end. But it will make a nice sized guest bed on the rare occasion we need it. The counter is definitely not as long as the traditional 21', but a bit longer than the 19'. One of the benefits for us is the extra 4" (or so) in the walkway. With dogs and 2 less-than-slender humans, it was a more comfortable fit. It also has 2 doors above the sink/stove, and a longer door above the bed in back.

For those asking about the new fabric/Formica/flooring options, I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't think to take photos of all the choices. They have several combos set up, but you can mix and match. We chose the Havana Tobacco floor, the Symmetry Tidal fabric, and the Mineral Jet Formica. We liked the pop of the dark countertops with the Maple cabinets. I found the fabric on this site: http://www.fabric.com/buy/0553276/ab...rd-7009-quarry That picture doesn't really represent the colors well. It's a smoother upholstery fabric. I'm surprised they haven't loaded actual photos of all the choices on the ETI site. They have some, but not all.
