Dinettes are common features in recreational vehicles. A typical dinette includes a pair of bench seats and a table supported by one or more table posts or legs. Because space is limited in recreational vehicles, dinettes often can be converted into a bed by lifting the tabletop from its support posts, removing the support posts, and inserting the tabletop between the dinette seats on small ledges on the seats. The problem with conventional convertible dinettes is that the support posts or legs must be stowed when used as a bed.
