can anyone tell me if there is enough space in the rear of a center kitchen Royale to convert the existing queen bed to twin beds.
from the pictures it looks like there are additional full length cabinets that are not in the rear twin bed Royale layout. If there are is there any reason they can't be removed or altered to make room for the twin bed length.
thanks joe

Jerry, is there any reason you couldn't remove the cabinets to make room or is there something permanent in them that's in the way?
also was there anything you had to in the rear lounge do to make room for twins other than removing the lounge and constructing the beds?
thanks again Joe

Joe,
The only one to come close without starting with the right version Royale was Forest Crow. He did give up much of the functional closet to do it. I have never successfully taken pictures of what he did.
Please do both us and you a favor.
Go to <Control Panel/Account Settings> and build a more complete sigfile. It should have your real name (so when others meet you, they know who you are), a short about the coach and its major mods (there are year and build differences and some matter) and a geographic reference so others in range may know where you are (those that read this as e-mail don't see the Victor, IA in the header).
You came aboard last year and I didn't notice that you were new here then, so I feel remiss that you did not get a proper welcome. You are now a part of an amazing community. This is a community to helping and supportive people that will be there when you need them. This is so much like my world of watermen that I like to welcome any new owners here much as a new owner or vessel would be welcomed there. So,
May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within here.
Welcome Joe,
Matt

If remove them completely you would likely have the same space as the twin rear beds royales. With ingenuity you could keep parts of them above and below your feet.
The bed is 54" wide now and the cabinets are 18" wide to give a 72 wide bed or two 72" long twins.

John,
so your saying that your original CK Royale counter is 69" and your friends CK Royale is modified with the counter cut to 57" and the cabinets moved forward 12" and this gives him the same space in the rear as yours. is this correct?
the reason I'm asking is the CK Royale I'm interested in is 1200 miles away so I can't see or measure it without making the trip. so I want to be sure it's do-able before committing.
I never thought about doing it that way , but that is a good idea as long as there isn't anything under the counter to move like water heater or plumbing.
can you give me the name of your friend that has done this so I could contact them about what was involved in the conversion?
I was originally considering removing the wardrobe cabinets or modifying them on the bottom to allow for more leg room like someone mentioned.
I've been hoping to find a Royale with rear twins but after 9 months of looking I still can't find one in the condition I looking for. so for now it's plan B
thanks to all who responded
