Cab over space changes
How feasible is it to remove the entertainment and shelves from the cab over and put a sleeping area there?  Asking for a friend.  😉

That area is not constructed for anyone to sleep in if it has an entertainment center. So can’t be changed in to sleeping area. Sorry

I would not say it is impossible but it would require a lot of work. Removing the Entertainment Center will leave the interior walls badly damaged, it will come out in a pile wood and will not be reusable. I
This not a job for the unskilled and/or inexperienced .
It is best to start with a model already with a bunk.

Cabover models are built from the ground up to support the weight of sleepers,  the entertainment center is not.
When I picked up my 2013 31 IB,  Todd advised me not to use that area to store a lot of books.  My bodyweight represents a very large stack of books.

It would be interesting to see the changes / differences between the two models.  If the cab over is significantly stronger than the entertainment center,  why does LD charge $2000+ to convert from cabover to entertainment center when unit is being built? Shouldnt it be the opposite?

Any deviation from 'standard' will cost the consumer!   ::)
