Most mfrs say 150 lbs limit for liability reasons. Our previous RV was a Sunnybrook with 4 bunks, and on the guys weekend we put the smaller guys up top, the bigger guys on the bottom.
That said, look at how the bunk is attached to the wall...some are made a lot sturdier than others. With a few simple mods you may be able to safely increase the load the top bunk will carry.
The bunks tend to be self-regulating in that a drunk 250 lb guy is going to have a real hard time climbing into the typical RV bunk...the same way the small hole in a wren house keeps out the Blue Jays....
