Second seat row for 67-72 C30 camper? [Consulting needed]

[nibulus]

Hello all,

I'd need some technical consulting from you 67-72 (frame mounted) motorhome owners and/or specialists. I'm currently looking for one, but would like to optimize it a bit.
Please feel free give me a hint if you happen to find a good one .

I really love the look of the C30, but the only major "negative" aspect of it (in my opinion) is, that the driving itself is due to the camper-concept not as "family-orientated" as in van-based motorhomes, in which the passangers sit pretty close behind the driver and are therefore more like a regular car (or crew cab).

However, I think the van-based motorhomes are optically pretty boring, so I'd prefer buying a C30, but would like to re-build it to be more "family-friendly".

As you can see in the sketches below, my idea is to have a second seat row approximately on the same level as the seats in the cab (with stairs in between). I want the opening/walk-through between the cab/camper to be larger, not only to ease communication while driving, but also to maximize the view of the rear passangers (see example in third picture).

Now the actual question: do you happen to know, if there's anything in that front part of a camper (or truck), which would not allow these modifications? Or should it be a fairly simple modification without major work on the camper's frame?

Thanks for your help/ideas in advance!
