I don't pick up my 180 until Saturday, but I am curious what the height of the dinette seats are. Asking for a potential mod. If you have a 180 and it's handy to measure I would greatly appreciate it. Height with and without cushions please. 

Thanks!!!

I also own the 180 and something you need to be aware of. DO NOT drive anywhere until you lower the dinette table to the low position. I left the dinette in the full up position during transport and secured it with the attached nylon strap. Well this is something no dealer tells you about. What happens that as you drive down the highway, the table is rubbing along the wall and this gouges or peels the wall paper away and leaves an ugly scar on your wall. Best advise, place a cushion between the table and wall to prevent the rubbing. I realize I didn't answer your question about the measurement your looking for but I don't want you to ruin your brand new wall.

The best way I found to secure the table is to collapse it, invert it and place on the cushion and then secure the strap over the top of the bar. It then rides there just fine. Just lowering it and putting the strap around does not prevent it from sliding around. Putting it on the cushion works better.

At the time, I was wondering if I could pull out the table and put a dog crate in it's place. The dinette stays as a bed  anyway. The answer is/was, yes, but it would be too tall for the dinette to function as a bed, LOL.
