Do the "Dinette Booths" convert to beds?

Probably.

Are there ANY that DON'T?

Well, uhm, I don't know. (Note -- I'm the same person who did the original
post.) I owned a 1993 Jayco travel trailer that had a dinette set that did
*not* convert, have never owned a motorhome, so I'm hesitant to make
assumptions.

I'm looking at buying a Sea Breeze LX (8311) but I need to be able to sleep
4 people -- two adults and two young children. The 8311 has the queen bed
for me & the Mrs, and the Wonder-Bed for Kid #1, but where to sleep Kid #2
... ?

Any dinette booth, with the table that is removable and has
the legs that fit in sockets top and bottom, has the bed
feature. I have never seen one that wasn't convertible.

You are all missing what I said. It's reached the point were many
dinette areas are not the built in seats with the fold down table,
therefore no sleeping area by night. May be a play on words, but just
a clarification on the "dinette booth" area.

I didn't miss it Tom. That's why I mentioned the posts. I
know what you're talking about. The difference is the
dinette booth has fixed benches and a removable table. The
alternative is a dinette set. Loose chairs and table.

They do in my 2003 Dolphin LX.

Ask the salesman.

The person that can give you the correct answer is your National
dealer, AFTER he knows which model you are talking about, because not
all dinette areas are dual purpose.

I have never seen a dinette that did not convert to a bed, and I
have seen many of them. Not doubting other posters but only trying
to state the probability of one doing so. In other words I would it
is highly likely that it will.

Bill, the reason for my answer was, about half of the RVs built today
don't have a "dinette BOOTH", they have a dinette table and chairs. If
he were to look at a catalog and ordered from a photograph, he might
get a booth that is a sleeper and he may not.  Don't take my word for
it though, just go to a new RV sales lot and look through a few.

I spoke to a factory rep today and he confirmed that all of their "booth"
dinettes convert to beds. He also said this is almost certainly true for all
other manufacturers.
