Thanks everyone, maybe I'll just have him sleep on the bunk and try to mix up the sleeping arrangement a bit.

I'm still going to call Starcraft and see what they say.

Thanks everyone, have a good one.

Yeah, I guess it could be Hardin, I've always thought of it as Aurora, though.

The next time you come in you have to go to Belew's Drive In for a cheeseburger and rings! They've taken greasy to perfection! It's a drive-in, but they've got a covered area to sit under as well. My kids (and me and DW) love it.

Glad to hear you had a good time! There's lots to do and see down on the TN end of KY Lake as well.


I'll have to get that burger when I come over. I really loved it. I was busy the entire time as there's always something to do!

2 coworkers, from different departments, went to Kentucky Lake and Land Between The Lakes for the 4th Of July weekend. It's really a popular spot with people here in NW Indiana. Everyone knows of Kentucky Lakes offerings.

Here's some more pics

Have a good one.

After seeing how flimsy my daughters Jayco dinette bed is I'd exercise some caution. Probably not all models are as flimsy as hers is but at least SOME are. It became almost unusable after only a few uses by a 220 lb. guest.

I added "door strengtheners" channels to the underside of my table I'm a big guy.
the channels were bought at a RV dealer that was before we had a Home depot or Lowe's.

Our table broke with my 89 pound 11 year old sleeping on it. We ordered a new table and now use a piece of plywood for sleep time.


Wow, I was going to bring this up again as I just traded in the PUP for a new TT. We really need to use the dinette table as we only have a double bed/single bunk bed, TT. It just so happens to be the exact NXP 20DBB model you have except a 2006 without the front window option.

Did you use 1/2" plywood?? Did you need any reinforcement or supports for the wood plank. Now that I know who will be camping with us, it will need to support the weight of adults totally 450 lbs.

I'm assuming the the dinette support runners that are ~1" x 1", that actually holds the table/board, will be up to the task of holding this type of weight.

I don't have the table yet to take any measurements or anything. The PDI is scheduled for this coming Thursday. I just need to get a plan here because we'll surely have guests for every upcoming trip, that we will need to sleep them on the dinette bed.

Thanks and have a good one.
