Chris:  I replaced the twins in my Excella 1000 with a standard 
double (60 in wide).  I have the overhead lockers, and the width of 
a queen would have been too much.  I took the boxes that the twin 
mattresses sat on out, cut them down and turned them around so the 
access doors open under each side of bed.  This exposed the exterior 
access doors.  I have carpet on my walls, so I installed a low chair 
rail just above the doors, finished to match the existing, and 
replaced the floor carpet, running it up the wall to the chair rail.

I cut around the exterior doors, and now regret it.  Were I to do it 
over, I'd glue 1 inch styrofoam to them and carpet right over them.  
I put bedside cabinets on the box that forms the rear boot which 
also hold the headboard in place.  The rear window is the emergency 
exit, so the headboard is sitting on splines, and can be quickly 
lifted out of the way.  Good luck remodeling!
