Hi Joan,
I had a 31' 76 Sovereign. I removed both twins and all the frame work with plans to do the same, but before it was completed I got an offer that I couldn't refuse. You can get a Queen mattress in but to keep any storage you're going to have to build it into the new bed frame, and I don't think you would have access from both sides. The padding around the walls in mine was attached with screws, so if it's old and unsightly you can take it down and make new. The backing was nothing but cardboard. I think you have to determine just how much space you have, layout everything to scale on paper and think through the building process. A simple frame joined at the corners is one thing but to build something that allows storage and access is going to take a lot more work. That's a lot of storage space just to lose. On the newer models the whole Queen bed is hinged at the head and lifts on gas filled struts as well as having drawers on each side.
