Taking out a wall~ and putting up a room divider~

Aluminum in the interior wall of a Zeppelin is unlikely. It is most likely paneling stapled and/or glued to wooden studs, probably 1x1 or 1x2 to provide a 1-inch hollow wall. These are usually fastened to outer wall, floor and ceiling to serve as a bulkhead and contribute to the rigidity of the assembled box that is the trailer.

RV construction varies greatly with type and model. Keystone used foam core panel walls for the Zeppelin, with aluminum tubing forming a perimeter frame and a few verticals, to stiffen the finished panel. I don't remember the rest of the details, no longer have those brochures, but know this model is priced way below what it costs to build with full aluminum framing (as used by Excel, Carriage, New Horizons).

We purchased our 2006 Keystone Springdale new. Traded it a couple years ago. One feature that attracted us to this camper was because of the open bunks in the back of the camper. We no longer had kids, but we wanted the bunks for storage... more specifically for our 3 birds, rabbit, chicken, and cat. The cat loved laying beside the bird cages and just dreaming of lunch!

Here's some photos. I'm sure if you search around you may find something similar to this:

FYI: This is our back yard.

OMG, this is perfect! Yes, I will keep searching, open bunks would be best case, and particularly because my husband is not "handy".
Never worked in construction. He amazes himself when he builds something, but has an irrational fear of destroying trailer, house, etc., lol!
If I have it all planned out, he does fine.
He and our son recently built a small rocket stove and it was a major undertaking. Turned out nicely, though!

BTW, love your siggy. "Life Support Quote" haha!

Ahh, my bad, I did not fully explain.

When I said "room divider", I was picturing something along the lines of wrought iron or something open. My mother had a lovely
buffet table (like a china cabinet but finished on both sides and open
shelves) and it was also called a room divider for making different areas of a large room.

In this case, I need it attached, obviously, and strong enough to attach the bunks to, or at the very least, the lower bunk.
Or maybe we will just take the large cages with us and attach them
to the walls and floor like HankMacaw did.

Plus, I don't want to spend $400-$800 on it....

No, a Toy Hauler is practically what we had, in essence, the problem being that I don't want the birds to feel separated from us.
Happy parrots are part of the family. Maybe it is the size. We have Amazons, Cockatoos and a Macaw.
If they were Love Bird size or Cockatiel size, they might be fine
with their own room.

Is it hard to take out walls? Are the panels just screwed to the struts? (Or whatever the aluminum pieces are called that are in place of 2X4s?)

Thank you for the help!

Get a toy hauler - problem solved. Many people that travel with birds have toy haulers.

Isn't that what a wall is? A room divider? Just seems odd to remove a wall to put up a wall.
