I'd like to take out the dinette and put in a loveseat, but I'm worried about the weight difference. The entertainment cabinet is in the same slide.

Hi marlee,
I don't have an answer, but is the dinette for two or four people?
I'm guessing the people weight for the love seat is for just two people and the dinette is probably built for four?

Yes, the dinette is supposedly for 4 people but they obviously meant 4 children. lol We have put 4 adults in it but 2 people were sitting half off the seats.

When the trailer sinks into the ground or a tire goes flat, those "stabilizers" will destroy the slide as well as damage the surrounding walls. There is no way of knowing exactly how much weight a slide will hold. You can go outside and look to see if there is flexing when some heavy people step into the slide. It is a concern and you should make an effort to minimize the weight, but the difference between the two types of furniture shouldn't be an issue unless you select something that is extreme. Keep in mind that whatever you buy must fit thru the door. |

I with lynnmor, between the two types of furniture shouldn't be an issue unless you select something that is extremely heavy ....
Also as lynnmor stated do not put stabilizers under you slide, I know people do it but if you look closely at the one's that do they are on cement pads that don't sink, as stated if you get a flat it may buckle the slide ...
I can say we have had four grown people weighting at around 200pds each an never had a problem, never felt any give or bounce ....

I called them and the guy couldn't find anything about weight limits but said changing out dinette for sofa would be ok and adding fireplace wouldn't hurt either.

A fireplace probably weighs less than the box it came in. If you add a fireplace, I would add a dedicated outlet for safety reasons. The self-contained outlets used in RVs might cause problems with a heavy load.

If KZ says the dinette is for 4 people you could easily calculate 100lbs each being conservative so 400lbs. Most of use are way above 100lbs so figuring 150lbs your at 600lbs, 200lbs would give 800lbs. You get the idea, couch weight that much??
Like lynnmor said the fireplace is minimum weight and a dedicated circuit would be great. KZ has mine on the same circuit as the fridge, TV, and satellite, every so often I have to use the breaker to reset the fireplace heat sensor when it will not shut off. When that happens the satellite has to be restarted and the TV tuned back on.
