Can a King size bed fit in a 1997 40ft. U320?
what modifications would have to be made.
Thanks.

Yes, it could be done.  You would just need to modify the plywood mattress platform - make it wider.  You might have to modify the "night stand" tables on each side, depending on how high they sit.  You would lose 8" of "walk-around" room on both sides of the bed.  Guess how well it would work depends on how skinny your legs are. 

"Standard Dimensions. A king size bed is wider than a queen bed. While a queen size bed is 60 inches (152 cm) wide, a king size bed is 76 inches (193 cm) wide. Both bed sizes are 80 inches (203 cm) long."

Turned 90 degrees, shoved toward curb, you could get around. Right? Lost a nightstand maybe?

Might be better to put a California queen instead of a king.

My 97 320 has a safe in the DS night stand. I think you would have to trim the cabinets  above the night stands as well.
