Wayne,
It is quite an undertaking to change the floor plan from a number 26-3
to a rear twin bed. See this link:

http://www.gmcmi.com/forms/26ftplans.pdf

It would require moving the bath module forward about 2 feet on the
one side and the closet and kitchen forward on the other side. Would
involve relocating the black plumbing and the water heater and potable
water lines, gas lines all electrical both AC & DC along with cutting
down and modifying the cabinets to fit the relocation. I have seen it
done once by one of our GMCGL members and it you done know what you
are doing you can destroy a coach, but it depends on how talented you
are. You will spend more money making the change than finding a coach
that fits your needs. JMHO!
