Mallard M26 wall modification question.

[azmallard]

Good afternoon,
I'm new to the forum, so hello! I expect to be contributing quite a bit as time goes on...as I'm a handyman, mechanic and serial customizer. But for the moment I have a question that I didn't see answered elsewhere.

Is the wall that separates the living area from the bedroom considered "structural"? I've recently moved into my Mallard and I'm attempting to build my music studio in here, and considering this as a space that i might build a modular desk/monitor station INSTEAD of within the slide-out. I have considered both removing the wall entirely, as well as simply removing the fireplace, shelving, etc. to use the wall as a base for my setup....but I'm still working it out in my head.

AZmallard guy, what did you end up doing with your fire place wall situation, looks like you have a really nice trailer parked in AZ somewhere, post some pics of your new addition...Scott

Apologies, I was out of town on vacation for an extended period. I haven't actually done anything with this wall yet, but hope to get back around to it soon! I'm currently working on my solar + battery system.

And yep, I have a 2022 Heartland Mallard IDM26 that I bought new in mid-2023 at a steep discount. I'm currently living in it full time in order to be closer to work, and having a pretty good time with it. I'm not very satisfied with how they didn't really maximize the use of available space, but I'm turning some of the voids into storage these days.
