I just purchased a very nice, clean 2004 Winnebago 31C Minnie Class C. Everything is perfect layout wise except for the entertainment center; not needed. Has anyone removed the entertainment center and replaced it with a cab over bed? Winnebago says that the sides don't have the structure for the bed but wondering if others have done this? My intent is to have a place for the grand kids to sleep. Any thoughts? Thanks.Marty57

Years back I got the information for a fella who wanted to do the reverse. Perhaps the factory build provides a stouter frame work for the bed than the entertainment center? however.If winnie says don't do it, I think I would follow their advice, regardless of any body doing it. let the kids sleep on your jack knife sofa.bumpy

I saw a post on here from someone who had done this... I think he did reinforce the structure somehow. Do a search on these forums in the class C section, maybe you can find it.

Found the post:Changing entertainment center to bunk cab-over.There is a link to photos of the project.

I tried the search but no luck; maybe I used poor wording. I'd like to find out what extra reinforcement was used by Winnebago before I decide what to do but would like to switch it out. And other thoughts? Thanks.Marty

yep, I note in one of those posts that the mfr. said they were constructed differently to support a bed.
