Actually, in most cases and I believe your Shasta is one of them, the table is narrower than the space between the dinette seats. That's because people have a hard time getting into the dinette seat on the street side if the table is that wide. So there are usually 3 to 4 slats cut to size that fit across and bridge the gap between the seats and the hard seats fold down and rest on them butting together to make up the uncomfortable bed. The old seats were made with wood and metal frames so the slats worked. Without a plywood backing, just cushions won't work well over the slats.

We just picked up our 1963 16 SCS and it has the original table. I'll go out and measure it tomorrow and post photos if I figure it out. I'm glad to run across you....it will be great to share information! I have all of the original manuals and warranty cards, etc so let me know if you need anything.

Thanks for the offer Shelly! I would enjoy seeing the brochures and things. Maybe we can post them in our manual section...

The table in my 1963 16 SCS is 4 feet long by 23' wide (photos to come once I read the instructions on how to post them). It has a hinge in the middle so it folds in half. I found a piece in the camper that I placed on the table in one photo. Not sure if it's a leaf or a shelf or something else (perhaps someone can help). Hope this helps you out!

yes it does greatly, thank you so much, if you could some how make copies of the manuals that would also be very big help also, I cannot seem to find any information on the furnace, stove, or the refrigerator, etc.
thanks again for your time on this

Very typical water damage at the skirt. Gravity and water leakage is responsible. All new skirt boards are needed.

I will get some more photos and the manuals and etc posted up within the week. I just towed her to Arizona (from the midwest) where we will be working on her over the winter. She did wonderful and towed like a dream! We'll be seeing real soon what kind of work we are in for and I'm sure we will have lots of questions for everyone!
