Installing Rear dinette

[terry1]

I recently purchased a 1975 Glenbrook with a permanent rear bed which is far to small for my wife and I so we would like to remove the front dinette
and crunch and built two single beds up front. Has anyone any idea if the front dinette can be installed in rear. I know it is narrower and base could
not be used. Terry 75 Glenbrook

The front dinettes in my 73's were less than 40" wide. The rear dinette I have from a Palm Beach is 48" wide with a 6" bolster, allowing it to convert
to a 54" wide double bed. I don't know how wide the Glenbrook dinette is.

But other than width concerns, all it takes to move a dinette is fabrication skills, or the money to hire someone with those skills.

The height of the generator compartment required me to build up the floor 3" - 4" when I converted the permanent bed to a dinette.

I will have to measure mine is not home yet have to pu once snow is gone but I had read somewhere the dinette is 48 inches. I think mine was
originally a dinette in back so hoping will not take too much, but will have to see. I sorta thought that they would make the parts interchangeable
for economic sense .

They might have in later models. The 73 front dinette is just wooden cabinetry with foam cushions. Not steel and upholstered foam like the Palm Beach
rear dinette I installed in the rear.

ask and look around. There are so many people switching out rear seating for a permanent bed, you should be able to find something for about free.
You probably could trade someone that is looking for that front dinette, and I know a few people looking for the bunk/couch.

from what I have run across, pretty much any of that rear seating area should fit that 75 glenbrook, as long as it is the 75-78 models, with the rear
side facing settee/double bed. Palm beach, glenbrook, eleganza II. ect...
