Just out of curiousity, how much can you weigh?

I think I read somewhere that the upper bed in a Westy (Berlin) can only hold 85kg. I was wondering if this was true and if anybody pushes this limit through real life experiences and to what degree?
Cheers

 

Tested it, what do you mean?

"If it's rocking, don't come knocking?"

 

Should I have stated static weight as opposed dynamic forces....unless you wish to enlighten us all

 

I know a couple that certainly doubled that, probably tripled it, but it would be rude to name names.

 

My son climbed up into our Westy Roof bed and it held OK - he is 14 stone

 

Front or rear hinged. I’ve slept in the upper bed of a front hinged Westy which was a bit cramped but it didn’t seem to bother it and in around 92 kilos! Rear hinged is more substantial from what I’ve seen!

 

About 100 stone is as heavy as you're likely to get.

Me and the wife usually sleep 'up top' with no problems at all.

 

@Suss and @crossy2112 can share a top bed without a problem so you'll be fine

 

Rear hindged (edit auto spell check error), thanks.

Everyone else, too many to mention, thanks as well.

The bed looks pretty strong, about 15mm thick I think, maybe we could try a deflection test at Techenders ......god forbid

 

I thought it collapsed and they had to call the fire brigade?

 

I heard that as well - think @Suss scored

 

Taken off at half-time with groin strain, I heard.

85kg limit is ridiculous. We sleep up stairs in the Berlin all the time and with more than double that

 

I wonder what the average weight of a TLB member is? To the nearest 100kg?

 

The original cloth in our bunks has gone a bit ‘see through’ in places,so they ain’t used...

 

Mine was very carefully aged tartan fabric that was brittle to the touch by the time I got the bus , just the right combination of heat, damp and rust , so I went down the local fabric shop and chose some poly/cotton curtain material. Which supported my weight when I weighed 100kg but it being a Devon bunk there wasnt really room for all of me, more like a Californian sealion sitting on a small boat.

 

85?!?! No chance! I’m 120kg and my Mrs is considerably less than that (and behind me) and we’ve slept up top for the past 8 years.
