Remove Bunks and Build Office/Closet
I do not need the large bunk beds in my new trailer and I am thinking of removing them to make room for a hanging rod and a small desk. Anyone tried this?

This is exactly the same issue I ran into a few years ago when I removed the middle bunk in our triple bunk bed K-Z Spree. Unfortunately I didn't realize until I was well into it that the screw heads were outside the trailer, behind the outer skin, and I ended up pulling them through the interior paneling. It made a hell of a mess, with gaping holes I had to cover over. Fortunately some were covered by the cabinet top I constructed where the mattress used to lay and along the back wall I was able to mask the damage with wall border paper that closely matched the trailer's interior decor. In the end it worked out well but it certainly was a lot more difficult than it should have been, just because of how those screws were run in from the outside rather than the inside. :M
