Can I remove the wall between garage and kitchen

[Patbob34]

I'm new to this forum and newish to the rving world. I have a Fleetwood Redline 335 fifth wheel with an 8' garage. At the moment the garage is working out for me but we're about to buy a second quad and I will need more room. Question is, can I safely remove the demising wall between the garage and the kitchen. I've seen similar model and some Redline without the wall but mine came with one.

People the search is over. I found the same trailer, same model,same year without the said demizing wall. Looks like it was an option. Thanks for all your inputs and enjoy your rigs.

I would suggest carefully start removing the paneling that is covering the wall so you can get a look inside. If it looks like it is structural you can close it back up or figure out a way to work around the structural issue.

Wow the big boss is huge, that's over 9'

I doubt the wall is structural, but I'm no expert. Is there a loft above? Most of the walls are just vapor barriers, but if it's more then that you'd need to reinforce things. You might contact a dealership that is known or doing some repair work in your area. If you were here I'd say call Drakes RV Services, many of the guys there have worked at various RV plants.

No electrical, no plumbing or ducting. thus wall is installed over the flooring (flooring under is continuous) same for walls and ceiling. All wiring going to the garage are going thru exterior walls and ceiling.

I don't know what you have, but I was able to load two Polaris Sportsman ATVs side by side, each were 48" wide, it was tight but they fit. What are you hauling?

Sadly no. Fleetwood filed for bankruptcy and dropped the trailer division and kept the motorhome division going. Abandoned owners and warranty claims all together.

That seems like a really bad idea to me. I don't own quads, but I've seen some pretty creative solutions here for loading quads. I'm sure you can fit more than one quad in your garage. Can you piggyback the front of one onto the rear of the other (doggy style)?

Yes RoyB the warning is there for that reason. The (if equipped) part is realated to wall. Telling me some model don't have it. The wall looks like it's installed after everything else again pointing in the direction. Just wondering is someone here works in the field or tried himself with what result

I thought was that this is the only part helping to keep the body square. Is that even a concern?

On the other side, there's a sticker in the inside saying "keep garage door close (if equipped)

I really like the trailer and want to make fit my needs without damaging it.
