Permanently remove tent ends?

Question

Hello,
Has anyone ever removed the tent end(s) of a hybrid TT with the intention of leaving it off? I am looking at buying a used TT but it has a tent end that I don't want or need. The rest of the TT is exactly what I'm looking for, and the price is right. I thought that if it's easy enough and seals well without the bunk and tent in there, I'd rather leave it off to save cargo weight and to eliminate leak possibilities, as well as to make a closet in area where the entry to the tent would normally be. Has anyone done this or have any advice? I'd like to know if it's possible before I buy the TT. Thanks for your help!

I never heard of anyone who did it, but everything is possible when you put your mind to it.

Sure.  Probley take about an hour to remove canvas.  Then make sure door seals are good and close it back up.  I suggest keeping the canvas for resale.

Thanks for your replies!  I think I may have an alternative to the hybrid model trailer, so maybe I won't have to deal with it.  But it's nice to know I could.

Although almost anything is possible, the hassle involved may not be worth it when alternatives are available. ;)
