Did the same thing as you're suggesting on our previous TT. Worked just fine, but only had about 6 inches between the foot of the bed and the wall. Still worked very well, and since I don't sleep walk, never had any problems getting out of the bed!
Same with our 2006 Jayco as well. re: Removed short RV Queen and installed longer (normal) House Queen mattress (only the mattress).
Below is something I recently posted in the different thread. This worked for my 2006 Jayco.
Also... RV Queen and House Queen mattress has same width but the normal House Queen bed is 7" (or so) longer. For my TT, I simply removed its factory RV Queen mattress and installed normal house queen mattress. And to support the longer length over hang, I simply installed some flat trimmed down 5/8" plywood at end of bed (under the new mattress). And, rounded its outer edge corners. For every 6" overhang, ensure 4x6" material under the new mattress. re: Cantilever support design.
