Thanks everyone! I think the best thing I did was ditch the uncomfortable dinette and add my recliner.
I was warned by dealers that this would make it unsellable and that the chair would be moving all over the place. Several even refused to remove it and told me that would void the warranty, but I think they were dead wrong. First, the chair hardly moves at all. I have put it on a rug that has a non-skid base, and it does not move more than an inch even on bumpy roads.
Second, I have had several people my age (non-families with young children) look inside and be impressed with the recliner. Most say something like, it was a good choice and looks really comfortable. It may be that a family with young children would prefer the dinette, but I think there are a lot of people traveling alone or as a couple that MUCH prefer the recliner!
There have been a few times I was trying to find a place to park when I wished it were a few feet shorter, but I think the trade-off in spaciousness is worth it for me.
