"I have never seen a 30/31 ft TB LD.  I know there is a drawer in a night stand over the pass through storage between the two twin beds.  I was wondering if that was removed and the pass through just carpeted, couldn't the twin beds be converted to couches as in a 26.5 ft MB ?  Or, one remove one and replace it with a double wide wall hugger recliner."
 I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but just for more ideas I thought I'd offer what I did to a 1979 22' TB (like a TK only with beds instead of couches). It's a floorplan that LD doesn't offer any more. In fact, I've yet to find reference to another like this one.
When I bought it from Susan Fain (on this list), it had the two twin beds in the back with a couch that extended across the back (like a big U shape seating area) with a pedestal table that fit in the middle. It has pass-through storage all across the back, much like the 30' TB models, I would imagine (I've never seen a 30' TB either). There was also open storage under each bed, so I didn't have the water tank or anything else to contend with in modifying it.

I work from home (designing websites) and wanted to have a desk in my LD so that I can easily take my work with me. My father is a wonderful handyman sort of person, and he removed the passenger side bed, leaving the seating across the back intact. He then built in a desk, with a table top that pulls out to create an instant table for eating. The desk is not as deep as the bed was that it replaced, giving me enough room in the aisle to use an office chair without banging into the other bed.

I've uploaded a photo if you'd like to see it:

> The back cushions on the couches lift off, making the width of the beds pretty much a typical twin bed width. I have thought that a platform could be built that would pull out from underneath the cushions on the driver's side to fill the width of the aisle, and I could remake the left-over cushions from the passenger-side bed that I removed, to fill in that space and make a large bed in the back. But so far the overhead cab bed has sufficed.

It's too bad the 30' TB does not have the option of an overcab bed.
Otherwise you could convert the rear bedroom to an office (where you could keep your "clutter" separate from the rest of the coach), keep your living room intact, and use the overcab for sleeping. But, you could still use the couch in the living room for your bed, if you find it big enough for your liking.
 Best wishes on your planning. "Where there's a will there's a way."

That is a very well done job.  I hope whatever we end up doing comes out as nice as yours.

See you down the road,
