Hey-I have a 2012 Panther. I put a roll over couch in it a few years ago to accommodate our three dogs, but now they're all gone, and I'd like to upgrade to a side dinette. I am considering driving the camper to Sacramento to have ATCF put a side dinette in it for me, but I can't find a photo of what the ATC side dinette looks like. I really like the FWC version, but I assume ATC is slightly different.

Anyone have a photo or review of the factory installed side dinette?

Try calling ATC to see if they can send you a picture of the side dinette. It is not too difficult to build one using Lagun table mount and some wood skills. The roll over couch could be a source for the cushion material. Just a thought.

I know this is a little off topic but have you considered doing your own mod? I had a 2009 or so Hawk with a rollover couch that I converted to a side dinette. After removing the rollover couch I disassembled the storage box below the rollover couch and re-used the paneling to make a box for the back dinette seat. I mounted the rollover couch hinges to the seat box and had the original couch bottom re-made into the seat cushions I needed. The seat back needed a plywood backer in order to secure it to the rollover brackets. I think the upholsterer charged me around $120-$150 labor since I provided all of the materials. I opted for a Lagun table and used the table top from my old Westphalia. The only other part I remember purchasing was an aluminum L bracket needed to bolt the rollover hinges to the seat box. It was a fun project that just took some careful measuring, plus re-using the same components kept everything matching. Just an idea!!

Here's a pic of my 2019 Panther shell dinette. Another pic of a FWC Hawk that I converted the rollover couch to side dinette.
