No dinette

[JimSig]

Hi!
I'm new here.  I live in San Bernardino, CA and just obtained a 1977 rear kitchen.  I've been told it is a party model.  It has a couch/bed on the driver's side, and a couple of captains chairs and cabinet on the other.  My issue is that I don't have a dinette.  I did get two dinette table tops and two posts in the deal, but there is no ring or hole in the floor to install them.
I was wondering if any other owners have had faced the same situation and had installed the hardware in the floor for a dinette table.  I'll try not to drill a hole in the gas tank.  (Really - I'll look first.)
Just wondering if anybody else had been through this.
Also - what is the recommended RV battery size?  The old dead one in there now looks awfully small.
Thanks,
Jim Siegmund

Hi Jim and welcome!

Good luck on that dinette, as for the battery a 27 series is the most common and cost effective in our area. I put a larger 31 series in my 1978 (just fits) for more draw time but then it takes longer to charge it back up. Do you plan on dry camping a lot?

Any RV parts store (online or brick and mortar) will have that floor mount.
By the way - you have the "best" floor plan for a Clipper in my opinion - unless of course you need three sleeping berths - then the 821F is the a good one (which is mine) - but now my kids sleep in tents, or stay home - I'd switch my flloor plan in a minute now..............
