I also did the covnersion.  It is EASY.  The most important thing was not
rushing.  I just slept in the top bunk for the first time on Friday night at
Cape hatteras.  It worked great!  One advantage to doing the covnersion the
way I did it was that I have more headroom downstairs than a traditional
West, albeit a little less upstairs, but that's for sleeping anyway.

I would be glad to share what I can as well.
