I’m thinking of making a couch out of an end cap if I do not find someone who needs it to fix/save their GMC.

I will either use it myself in my new garage. Or I might sell it if someone wants to buy it.

The only thing I have not decided 100% on is which side the couch will be on.

The normal way is to place the couch facing out the back so the tail lights would be on either side.

However, if one were to keep the entire end cap in one piece; you could place the coach on the inside which would make the couch longer and it would have a cave like atmosphere with the cap overhead.
You could place speakers in the corners too and have storage under the couch.

EDIT - Add on - It be cool to paint it the same color as one's MH.

Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.

Tony,

If you cut the end cap off further forward someone might want it for a stretch conversion. That way they would only have one splice to make.

Harry from BC is a No. Very Happy

Hal, I never thought of that. But I am not sure where the cuts would be or if it would be possible with how I have to use the parts coach for one last trip.
