On my last TT, I didn't need to replace plywood, I did need to add some. The 200 lb weight rating, was not enough for my plan to use the TT at deer camp. I have two boys who are over six feet and 250 lbs.
I added a layer of 1/8" plywood and installed some moldings for additional support under the upper bunks.
After the mod, the boys said the the bunks were FKA (fat kid approved).
For replacement, I would replace that 1/8" playwood, with 1/4" plywood. You'll only add a couple pounds and the bunk will be much stronger. If it is an upper bunk, consider adding some vertical support.
Thanks for the reply. Can you be more specific as to the mouldings you added?
The existing bunk plywood is actually two sheets side by side, so there is no issue removing them or having to bend them. However, I like the idea of just adding another layer instead of removing the existing. Although one now has a big crack in it where my knee went through....:o
