Wall mounted free standing dinette

Hi All,

I'm considering an upgrade to a 2017 3811MS from our 08 3585SA. The biggest reasons are for accessibility. I want to be able to access the fridge or relax inside without opening the slides while we are traveling. One of the issues with an island model is getting past the island. This model says it has a wall mounted free standing dinette. Probably because of the outside TV. Can this table be dropped down or removed easily to allow access past the island?

Access to everything is partly why we are considering a MH.

Thanx - Dean

Free Standing Table

Hey Dean
The free standing table does not flip down. Nor does it remove. This is due to the large steel bracket that supports the table allowing it to have no pedistal.

Have you been able to see a 3810/3811MS with the slides in? If not, send me a PM and I can get you some pictures.

Pictures would be awesome. When we looked there wasn't anyone available to assist so we didn't get slides in for full review. Can you get past dinette with slides in???

Thanx Dean

Dear Dean

If you can figure how to post them it might help others, but our seasonal campsite won't allow anything over 40 ft. and the 3811 is 40'9"

Thanx for all your efforts!

Look on your title, I'd bet it says it's shorter.. My title says 37', My 3610 measures 39'
I suspect they won't 86 you for 9". I tell parks it's 36'10"..

Our campground GM will use a tape measure and factory specs. They make exceptions for vacationers, but not for seasonal campers!
