2011 Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite 25bh bunkbed weight limit

Good afternoon everyone! We just bought our first camper, and since it is used it did not come with the stickers for the maximum weights for the bunkbeds. I have exhausted all resources, except calling Gulfstream, and I have heard sometimes they aren't even sure with older models. I was wondering if anyone on here has the same model as us and could tell me the max. weight for the bunks please! Thank you in advance!

  • Thanks, Jerry for the good idea! We are going to look into reinforcing the bunks.

  • Welcome to the forum!

    Most RVs are built with lite duty in mind, including beds, furniture, dinettes, cupboards, etc. I have beefed up different weak points, that you will run across in any RV. I have read of others doing the same, and can remember bunk beds in particular, that folks have redesigned, added support, due to larger children. It is pretty easy to add wood support where needed, using screws, rather than manufacturer's cheap staples.

    Hope you enjoy your new to you RV!
