 Topic: Upper Bunk Bed Weight LimitPosted: 28 May 2009 at 9:10am |

We had an older travel trailer with fold down bunk beds, but there was a specific weight capacity. This made it only suitable for children. Does anyone know if the upper bunk in the R-Pod is strong enough for adults?

200lbs is pretty much the standard for RV bunks but I'm not sure if it applies to the POD.

If you are above 200lbs - you probably wouldn't be able to get up in the top bunk anyway

Thank you for those answers. I am just over 200 lbs, but still have some climbing ability left!
 Since I had hoped to perch on the top bunk, it must be some kind of cruel justice that I am just over the limit.  Maybe I can shed some of it, if I try real hard!

That's funny.... as long as you are not jumping on the bunk you will be fine... would test it first without the spouse on the bottom ;)

 I am in ( not me really but a friend is doing it for me) the process of cutting out the center of the upper bunk to make self type storage. I got a really good look at the construction. It is two layers of 3 ply plywood ( top and bottom) Sandwiched inbetween are 1X2s spaced about 12 inches apart from the back wall to the front free supported edge. In the center this cross piece is doubled. There are 1X2's
screwed around the edge for the side support with screws about every 12 inches. And the finishing board we see is a 1x3 nailed to the 1x2 that is the surrounding support and to which the plywood is stapled. Do't now if this helps in determing its weight limit. Retired Roxy |

NO JUMPing, No Moving on the second bunk....
 , Myra has the top and I have the bottom but she's short so I had to get her a ladder (which also helps with the r-dome), but as you can see from the picture it hit the dector one to many times. I haven't deceide yet if I'm going to move it and where or put a brace around it,  (ladder from walmart)  Myra did the repair job..Haven't had the heart to undo it yet. SO Roxy for being retired your sound like your doing ALOT of work. I'm semi-retired and try not to work that hard. PLEASE DON"T FORGET PICTURES. Lee Lee |
