Over front cab bunk bed weight rating

[tpool71]

Have been looking to buy a Class A and while the dealers seem to know the weight rating on all units they carry, I cannot find any place that publishes said weight ratings.

Dealers tell me that Jayco rates their bed at 750lbs while Thor, Forest River, and others rate theirs in the 300lb to 350lb range. Seems odd to me that these are so far apart and why they would be so low for such a large sleeping space (Some are up to 90 inches wide)

Any ideas out there? I suppose this has been covered before but my searches led me to no topics from the past.

On my Thor there is a sticker on the drop down bed face. "one person 250lb rating" There should be some sort of sticker on the beds if for nothing else to cover the mfg.

Good luck getting anyone who weighs 350 pounds up there anyway. I weigh 280 and it's a chore for me to get up there to fish stuff out that the kids leave up there.

I'm ~225 and I see the flex on my cabover when I'm working up there.. Plus the up and down would be horrible for these old bones. I make my kids sleep up there.

I'd stay under 350lbs no matter what. Anyone who was climbing up there would need a special ladder. Idid ladder certifications for LADOT and followed OSHA specs, I have never seen a 350lb rated ladder in an RV.

I would be less concerned about the weight rating than the comfort of the bed. My experience would say that they are good for kids but I would never consider using that bed on a frequent basis. Just my 02.
