- my guess would be to tie the beds together for shipment from factory, to dealer
and maybe to lift up on that end if it catches on the paneling top lip Merrykalia wrote:
Yes, it's amazing how much those things can squish down.
After I read your initial reply about the size of the mattress I decided to try the Kleenex box test.
At first I thought it would ONLY fit the 2.5" foam mattress that the trailer came with (which are the original mattresses). But after doing the Kleenex box test I discovered that even sitting on top of the foam mattress, and after I had already installed the Reflectix and the anti-fatigue mats, that the Kleenex box didn't squish down at all! So now I have this: Reflectix, anti-fatigue mat, original foam mattress, 2.5" memory foam mattress toppper, mattress protector that covers the original foam and the topper, and a fitted sheet, and it fits it all perfectly! I won't be leaving our pillows and comforter on it whenever I close them up so they don't factor into the equation.
We finished 90% of the reno over the past weekend (worked solid on it both days). I'll do a post once it's all done, which should be this weekend.sbstryker wrote:

Your PUP could accommodate the mattress with a topper height-wise?

Phew. I was worried there. Well if someone wants to kill me in my sleep now they have another way they can do it: death by collapsed PUP bed and roof :E- Don't worry, I think they were put there just to prevent someone from deliberately pushing you bunk ends in without removing the canvas support poles first
Ken - Oops, duplicate post :(

On our old Bonaire popup (83 vintage) the straps had pins on them that went through the plywood base to keep the bunk ends from being pushed in while in use.
The design of your bunk end poles and canvas make me think that it is a Bonaire or Lionel (same family) unit.

That could be it! But now I've gone and covered them up with insulation and padding on the bunks. Am I going to die now? I'm exaggerating but seriously, is it okay to not pin them? We can't over pull them out and we don't have kids whoight pull them in in case they all of a sudden developed hulk levels of strength. Once pulled out the beds don't move at all.- On our old Bonaire popup (83 vintage) the straps had pins on them that went through the plywood base to keep the bunk ends from being pushed in while in use.
