Converting dual beds to queen?

[Ryan Wright]

Excellent! Thanks for the info. Also, big thanks to Ernie for letting
me know what was under the beds - with water tanks there, might be a
big deal to actually move that stuff to convert to a "traditional"
queen Wanderlodge setup.

Sounds like putting a platform in would be the way to go, then, and it
could be easily removed and put back to twins if I ever wanted to sell
the coach. Would only take me a weekend to build something like that.
I will no longer shy away from coaches with twins.

Appreciate it! This helps open up my buying opportunities.
