We will probably put a shelf up where the bunk was and maybe a narrow cabinet replacement above the dinette. It won't be an exact replacement for either, but perhaps will add a little strength back. Regardless, I definitely feel better about it. Thanks again for your replies.Removing cabinetsMy apologies if I missed a previous thread on this topic. We recently bought a 1994 Sunrise by Cobra (16 ft) travel trailer. Removed the small overhead bunk in the front of the trailer and the cabinet above the dinette (didn't need/want either one). Now in hindsight, I'm wondering if either or both of these added to the structural integrity of the trailer. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of information on the topic of cabinetry and structural integrity. What I have found is opposing opinions. One site says the cabinets definitely add to the structure and the trailer may just come apart being towed down the road if you remove any of the cabinets. Is there any truth to this? The last thing I want to worry about is the camper exploding when towing it down the road at 60 mpg. Thank you.
