Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Well, My Wife Daniele, and I have been living aboard our Reinell RSC2600 for a little past 13 Months. Now Thats Love! Actually this was all planned in advance and we do it because we love it.
After a year plus we did do some minor modifications. First on the honey do list was....."Honey, do .....we ...have ...room ...for......my .......dog?" which promptly put me in action.
What was a starb'd Quarterberth was now dare I say it........the DOGHOUSE. but wait there's more. That modification required the removal of our T.V. HMMM. do ya see where this is going? NEW FLAT SCREEN T.V. with built in DVD player. This was attatched using a 24" drawer slide Roller bearing of course, capable of holding 100 lbs. When extended it is centered on the galley and stowed it is lashed to the hanging locker. Together with the Digital Smart antennae we get 31 channels at no cost/mo. here in Port Townsend.

Which leads me to the other modification.......the dinete. Now don't get me wrong but you'de have to be damned small to seat four people in that dinete. So saw that table in half, add a fiddle,
re-center the pedestal mount and drop the remaining half in as though you were converting half to a berth add some cushions and viola a u-shaped dinete with a smaller table but now able to seat four adults or 2 adults and one pit-boxer mix dog.
Do we regret living this way? NOT ONE BIT!!!
NEXT MONTH..........self tending rig on a reinell. How to D.I.Y.
It's cool how you are so quick to see how to make it better and what you need, then you do it, and a nice job at that. kudos.
