Well, it finally appears that the unemployment in my house is ending. That means we now have the funding to do a few more things to the coach sooner than we had expected! It is amazing how a secured income makes things like an RV renovation possible.
One of the renovations we want to do is to convert the two twin beds in the back to a single bed (after 27 years my wife still wants to sleep in the same bed!) I am a woodworker and have no trouble with the basic structure, but do have a few questions about what others have done.
First, for those that have done this, have you tied the beds to the wall structurally, or is your bed freestanding and not screwed to the walls. If they are connected to the walls, did you use any special screws? It is my understanding that you wouldn't want to use steel screws in the aluminum frame or is that an old wive's tale?
Is there a prefered mattress foam?
What creative solutions have you come up with to take advantage of the storage space in the middle that is now covered by the bed?
