179 dinette table size

Originally posted by funks Stephen, you can see the box under the chair in the first photo. The box is 13" x 15" x 7" with a side extension. I cleaned up and secured some of the wires before covering. The cover is made to come off and the box is secured to the floor. I also put bead board on the wall under the bench to cover the wiring. If you notice I also changed the heater vent so it blows the heat out into the room. Good Luck and have fun with the camper

Beautiful job. I prefer to retain the storage of the existing seats, but will do something about the cushions to firm them up so they aren't so soft.

Would you post some detail pictures of how you rerouted the heater vent? I would like to do that also.

I've been searching the forums and have not yet found your heater vent modification. I would appreciate a more specific reference or search term so that I can find it. I searched on furnace mod, heater vent, 179 furnace, and other variants, and came up with everything but your mod.

Thanks funks. I'll ask a couple of questions there since it will be more appropriate.

My wife was thinking of that sort of a mod. but on second look I think they support the weight of the slide out when retracted I would definitely would contact forest river on that one to be sure. For now my table is in my basement and I found a real nice one on amazon that's slightly smaller and folds flat and I can use it out side. The factory table seats are in the way but they make good foot stools.lol

The battery in the seat box must be an Australian thing. In our 179, the battery is on the tongue. There is a picture of the two six-volt batteries I have on my 179 here.
