I am going to be living full time this summer in my 35' TT and working online from there. There is a work surface at the rear of the trailer but it is very small and I am thinking of removing the two ...

Yes, I realize that but I am wondering how difficult a challenge it will prove to be as a DIY project.
Our bunks are basically just a frame of 2x2s and plywood. The frame is held onto the wall with 2 screws on each short side and 4 screws on the long side. That's it. Under the bottom bunk there is an electrical junction box for the slide's power. I forgot to mention, these bunks are on a slide. Being on a slide, there was no other utilities under there. Actually there are drawers under the bunks, so there couldn't be utilities anyway.
I too had thought about removing the bottom bunk to put in a small desk and office chair. We decided to just make the bottom bunk larger so it is the same width as a standard twin bed. The kids stopped using the bunks because they were too narrow. Now our daughter uses the cab over bed and our son uses the bottom bunk. The top bunk will be turned into storage.
I was surprised how easily the bottom bunk came out. I had to remove it so I could relocate the drawers' stops on the floor of the slide. The top bunk is attached the same way.
Edited to add: I forgot to mention that our setup is exactly like the link above posted by TXcamping family.
