Our version of the 320S "permanent beds" solution....

boathealer

We decided that a 27" width was going to be a good size for us and leave ample walking room in between.  We already had 2" foam roll-up toppers and sheet setups in that size from some of our other "adventures".

I took out the sliding bed platforms altogether.  I then moved the forward vertical wall out about 3-4 inches - about 2-3 inches shy of the 27 inch total width.  This was possible without very much trouble on either side with the was the pieces were fastened.  I then made new hinged tops that were 27" wide in total.  I stained them black to match the cabinetry.  Here is a photo of some of that work in progress (along with electrical mods going on):



On the drivers side, I have installed all of the electrical systems (Tow vehicle charger, rooftop solar charger, external suitcase charger, 2000W inverter, AC switching and fuses for 12V extras).  I added a gas cylinder and an automatic light to come on when open.  I replaced the WFCO box with a quiet muffin fan with temperature sensing to come on if it got too warm in there.....



On the other side, the additional room by moving the forward wall allowed for a nice shoe storage bin, with light of course 



Finally we had new cushions made with high-end 4" foam and good fabric.  I think it came out pretty good.  We got rid of all the side cushions in favor of a small (easy storage when sleeping) deep back cushion for sitting on the now longer base seats.  You can also see the fold-down mini drink tables we put on each side.  Excuse the cardboard still protecting the floor from all my mistakes!!!

Hello,
Nicely done!! I too have decided to alter my 2021 TAB 320s Boondock to make it more comfortable. I made my twin bed platforms 28" wide and hinged. I also kept the ratcheting back mechanisms so our beds could be in an upright position for viewing the TV.
Some would say I am nuts but I removed the rear cabinets as well keeping the stock speaker enclosures in place. I got tired of banging by head on these cabinets and, the cabinets didn't really give us any real storage. Instead, I have a center console (12" W x 12" D x 37" L) that allows us more actual storage.
I really like your side tables. Can you tell me where you got these and how you mounted them? Instead of a Laguna table, I was also trying to fashion some sort of side tables (like a commercial plane) but was unable to find anything that one could mount to sides as you have done. again...excellent job!!

Thank you for your very kind words!  Too much, really.

We used these shelves - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJ27HGZF

I put them up with VHB tape plus two screws into the very thin skin of the inner wall.  Knowing that we would have strict rules about no more than a full coffee cup and a donut going on there in terms of weight.  No problems so far - with the mounting, or the rules.....

Hope this helps some!

@boathealer I really like your solution. I'm not a fan of the interlocking seat panels on our 2023 320s. We've already settled on setting up our beds on each side and having a narrow footwell for sitting and for making nighttime pit stop exits. I'll borrow your use of a plywood deck and a gas strut to support it. I probably won't slide the compartment walls as you did. I'll likely just use thick enough plywood to prevent flexing or reinforce the overhang. We nixed having side cushions we have to stow elsewhere and use our pillows and bedding instead. 

You're storing your tabletop in the same location I also installed a Lagun mount. It gets the table out of the way and creates a footboard for that side.

Hello and thanks "boathealer" for the Amazon link.

Hello "bjn2"... I used 3/4" plywood for the beds. As you mentioned, the footwell between the twin beds is approximately 12" meaning that the bed overhangs about 3-4". I am a heavy guy (315# and the bed does not flex when I sit on it. Hope that helps.

Here are some initial pictures of my interior. Please understand I am still 2-3 weeks out from finishing. May be a bit much but I also added a "epoxy/wood" river top to my center console and did the same for my laguna table.
By keeping the ratcheting mechanism on the bed, we can lounge to watch TV and use the laguna table on either side. Looking at the picture below (left side) you can also see additional storage boxes I added. One merely pulls the bed head piece forward to access.



The next picture shows the storage area for the laguna table, legs and additional storage next to the air conditioner. I will be ordering struts for the hinged beds.



Her you find the drive side bed which is hinged to allow access to the electrical and Alde system.


In the picture below, you will see some rope. Due to the thickness of the mattress, I added the rope to the ratcheting head piece so one could easily pull it up. The rope tucks under the pillow when the bed is made.

I have also decided to add 1/4" veneer plywood to both walls (above the bed) in order to add folding, drop down side tables similar to the tables shown in "boathealers" pictures above. However, mine will be approximately 12" x 18" and, hopefully, support 10-15 lbs. I'll send more pictures when I figure it out.





The picture below shows the Froli sleep system that I am installing. This makes the bed more comfortable and, with a 2 3/8" gap between the mattress and plywood, allows for air circulation (no mold/mildew build up).
My wife is much lighter and will use a 4" x 28" x 72" foam RV mattress on the "driver side" bed. I have a 7" x 28" x 72" foam RV mattress on the "passenger side" bed.

BTW, if you have a dark interior like mine, I found that Varathane "Ebony" stain matches the Nucamp interior. Good luck...
