Twin Beds to Full Bed, A success story

I have done it!

I recently bought a 34 excella with rear twins. I certainly did not want the twins but the price was right. What the hey!

I removed the twins and recarpeted and cleaned whole the room was empty.

A little history: When I bought the Sovereign with fiull bed in the rear, I had to replace the rear floor. This provided oppurtunity to disassemble the full size bed. When I got into it, it occurred to me that the full was merely two halves made into one bed. (Tambour storage boxes)

On to the Excella,
I took apart the two twin beds and layed them out in the bedroom, 54" apart. I used a 1" x 2" board to tie the two halves together. After getting the bed all squared up, I screwed it to the deck. The twins had storage trays in the top of the units. I wanted to preserve that so, I cut up the aluminum bars that were part of the Twin setup, (Hinged) and added them to my new foundation. I still have the capability of some additional, Maybe even secret, storage under the mattress.

It seems to be tight in the room but it is excatly like the rear full in my Sovereign. The only difference is now, I have an access door at the foot of the bed. (never know when I may have to break in).

Here are the photos of the evolution:
