Isata 3 theater seating

I'm looking at a dynamax isata 3 24FW on Monday. Does any one know if I decide I don't like the dinnet, can I swap it out later for theater seating, or a couch? Thanks, Bruce

The couch is great
Even has a table so acts like a dinette. I’m sure you could buy one to replace your dinette, maybe bclemons can give you a part #

I changed to theater seating in my 3rw, much more comfortable.

The rw has a smaller opening than the fw, so may need a different part number for the theater seats or couch

Not bad. I did it myself so only cost was the furniture. I purchased Thomas Payne from camping world.

Any one else have input on retro fitting theater seats into an Isata 3 24FW? This could be the deciding factor if I pull the trigger.......Bruce

I 3 RW Dinette

Wife and I like the Dinette because while traveling and want to stop at a rest stop etc , we dont have to put out the side slide to have a meal etc. this is from 2 cross country trips with it. in other words it still gives us an option of using the slide or still having the convenience of the dinette.

From the last frontier

Theater seating wasn't an option when we ordered ours. I defiantly would have chosen it over the dinette.

He will. I would imagine he took the weekend off for a change.

When I checked with BC for mine the price was just over $2000.00 including installation. Yours will be more because you have room for the center console. I opted to install my own that I purchased from camping world. It was on sale plus I got a discount for buying the floor model. It is a Thomas Payne with electric recliner, lights, heated, and vibrates. Its very comfortable and easy to install. I paid $1275.00 including tax. Here again I didn't get the center console. If I remember correctly it was an additional $200.00.

I read the post, but it seems like everyone already gave you the same advice I would have given.

1. Can it be swapped? Yes
2. How much trouble? it depends on your level of DYI. Super easy if you have a dealer do it.
3. Cost? That really varies on whether it is DYI or dealer install, factory chairs or aftermarket. I would have a dealer quote the parts and install.

We intend to change out our couch for theater seats in our DX3.
Looked at some at a showroom near San Antonio. Web site is Shop4seats.com.

Looks like the center console folds up to give you back a seat, I like these!!!
