Over-cab bed weight limit specifications?

[MoKa]

Does anyone have have any specs or info (documented or first-hand experience) of the maximum weight limits for over-cab beds, in the most popular/common motorhomes? I'm having a job finding any manufacturer anywhere sharing this info on their tech specs in brochures etc.

Serious question, and while I appreciate there may be some fat jokes to be had, I'm genuinely looking for helpful answers.

Very tempted.......

.....seriously, I don't think that there is a weight limit as such, more like a size limit - there isn't usually a lot of space up there so gravitationally challenged people would not want to sleep up in what can be a claustrophobic space. We have an A class with drop down bed, but still nothing from the manufacturer about weight limits.

We have a Hymer Exsis i698 with drop down double bed the max load is 200kg this is quoted in the operators manual.

Seems like the kind of info that might be useful before you buy it, but Hymer specifically were one of the brochures I looked at and couldn't find it (or in their tech specs on price list)

Probably a big margin on that as well

Ive just checked, ours says max 200kg.

I would think that's pretty much standard weight on the Hymer range they all look about the same in the newer vans.

Only info I have seen was a label on the bed mechanism with a weight limit. Think ours a Frankia Duo bed was 200kg or 250kg, know we checked at the time to make sure it would be ok as I'm not the lightest! I think it is listed in the Manual, but definitely not in the brochures, tech specs or options list.

I would have thought , 2 persons max 100 kgs each

 

[ColinandDawn]

200 kilograms = 31 stone.

Burstner drop down is 200kg too so I can't wear my cast iron chastity belt

Chausson drop down single in 514/515 (i.e. 3rd berth) is 150Kg limit

I'm guessing these are static loads..

a dynamic load will be a different kettle of fish

 

[pyro]

Hard to differentiate between a static load and a dynamic load when I've been on the curry and beer. I prefer to think of the payload being more in transit than anything else

Of course, that is presuming you weren't referring to something else, although I can't think what

No hanky panky then?

Our drop down bed has a 200kg weight limit ........ I would think overcabs would have similar but I may be wrong.... usually am.

 

[peterc10]

200kg on my hymer but only when parked. Bugger all when driving so they can't get sued if you forget the strap and the bed falls on your head.
