I have an 8298 and it had a narrow top bunk which I pulled out and framed up a wider one with a wider memory foam mattress. The walls should be plenty strong as all of the cupboards are just screwed in the the walls and most don't hit the studs.
I just made sure to put enough screws in to make is strong. Just make sure you don't over tighten as it is only thin Luan and can strip easily. Snug works well.
Did you use regular screws or did you use anchors? I was wondering if anchors wouldn't work better or if standard wood screws would be sufficient.
I have looked at a few pictures of TT with larger bunks and I have a good idea. I am just worried about strength since the bunk is on a slide out.
Thanks for the note.
