Workspace Goal: To convert the sofa & dinette area into a dual workspace for two geeks on the road.

With this work area on a slide out, it seems it would be awkward to sit in a chair that is half on the slide and half on the main floor of the motorhome. Just wondering if this a problem or not…we have a slide out that we have considered changing out to computer stations too (not that we work on the road, but we are on our computers all the time it seems….) –Dave
