The CW chair is in the size and price range but for ten dollars more I can get a big upgrade on cushioning with the office chair and a head rest ....and the chair would be able to swivel which would give positioning options. I also have to be able to stablize/attach any chair to the top of the box that will need to be built over the metal heater box and the furnace vent..... Looks like I am really trying to talk myself into stimulating the economy with a purchase tomorrow! My brother used to make furniture and make interior restoration on old cars. He didn't laugh at me when I talk about some of my remodeling ideas.....He thought of several options.....

That's the one. Thanks Gene. I love it. Wife is going to make some arm covers to soften them and protect from cold metal on bare arms. The chair is versatile, well built and comfortable. Perfect for RV. Doesn't swivel though so if that is a need then certainly go with the other. I think you are smart going the office chair route instead of thinking barrel chair. They are comfortable, functional and a lot of bang for your buck. I just fold our two chairs and bungy to the wall when moving. What really wonderful good looking dogs.

Stuart's color is considered a Blue Roan and Blondie an Orange Roan. The Black in solids and the Blue Roan color is dominant while the reds and the the Orange Roan coloring is recessive. The Roaning can be anything from a dark almost black to a light freckling of more open coloring....They appear as black n white parti colors when they are born and the roaning comes in as they get older.....

Nice looking pups!
I was working out in my rig yesterday removing the aft dinette seat plywood in my 251.
This access cover is screwed down and has seat belts that go through the plywood.
Because I was running the furnace the first thing I noticed was how warm the seat custions were, and when I lifted the seat plywood I saw why!
Trail-lite had run another 4" flexible duct under the seat that was not hooked up to any register, it's just heating the dinette seat box.
I also noticed that Iv'e seen interior pictures of 2008 T/L 251's and they now have the additional register in the isle.
So if any 251 owners that don't have the additional register in the isle want to add a heat duct, your only a 4" hole saw and a $4.00 plastic register away.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink")

Yep, that is what I have on the Gulfstream.....The register comes out on the aisle. I did think of not including it, if I built a small box around the metal heat unit, but when the temps really drop like they did on me this last trip coming back from NC (it was in the single digits with the wind factor).....the propane heater was the only thing that kept us toasty. I like toasty! when I need it, sooo....I will probably build to keep it functional, for the just in case weather.

Well I went just before noon time to Home Depot to buy a 4 1/4" hole saw, got back and after lunch I drilled the dinette side board out taking care to insert a backer between the fabric cover and the 3/8" plywood.
The hole was done and I pulled the spare 4" duct through and installed the existing register from under the aft bench.
I ordered a new register with a shut off damper to re-install under the bench seat and dinette table.
I will keep that register closed most of the time as its really not needed where its placed under the table.
This was the easest install so far only because the duct was already installed by the factory!
And as a bonus I found a handfull of extra screws of various sizes under the dinette seat...Thanks Trail-Lite!
Oh one more surpise under that same aft bench, thats were the optional sub woofer is installed.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/eek.gif "eek")

This picture shows the location of the 2008 Model 251 heat register on the aft dinette seat base.
This isn't my rig, but I just wanted other pre-2007 Model 251
owners to see what their missing!

Our ducted heat register is under the jack knife sofa about two foot away from the heater itself on our 211. Someday I might get ambitious and route it futher up toward the cab to spread the heat out a bit. When I was stowing the memory foam topper under the sofa last summer I disconnected the duct as it was in the way and connected up for our December trip to Pensacola FL. The heater works quite well as our first night there it was 29 degrees.
