Can the end caps be flipped front for back?

Has anyone tried using the front end cap with the shelf in the back bathroom?

All the walls are already out and the frame is being repaired so I can't tell if this can work.

We're putting in a u-shaped dinette instead of a gaucho in the front. Thinking I could use the storage shelf more in the back bathroom. At the same time gain some headroom over the front dinette bench.

It's a '66 Trade Wind

Thanks

I believe the shape is the same. In my trailer the front has all the gauges and radio.

You could look at the factory video and watch the trailers go together to see the shape of the framing.

Funny, I just watched that video yesterday. Really interesting, especially after doing the Mother Ship tour last year.

It does look the same. We just might have to adjust the lower panels. Which is probably easier in the bathroom since we're rearranging anyway.
