Fat man falls through bed. News at 11.
I realize that my camper is one of the least expensive on the market. Just the same, I was surprised to learn how puny the screws were that hold up the wooden boards that support the dinette when it's in sleeping position. Labor Day weekend, I rolled over in my sleep, and two of those puny screws snapped. When I investigated, I found that the entire table was supported by six very skinny light weight screws. I had to go and find a Home Depot, buy a drill, and add several sturdy bolts to fix the situation. I know I'm a big guy, but I have slept on that bed 170 nights. Several of those nights there were two of us in the bed. I don't know why they decided to snap all of a sudden.
If you have a lower-priced camper like mine, you might want to check and see what supports your dinette bed. Maybe be proactive and put some new bolts in there to prevent a surprise during the night.
