I agree. I am ready, willing, and wanting to learn. I just thought I was learning how to drive a truck safely and efficiently, but it looks like I'm gonna learn how to play jungle gym and get myself up on that bunk too. Who knows, I might end up training myself, one day, and I need to be able to say "this is how you do it" instead of go buy a ladder or a pogo stick.

If I had a good camera I would. I actually searched youtube for that kind of thing and found nothing. Maybe, just maybe I could take one for the team and show how to screw it up, and eventually a way to get it done.bergy Thanks this.

Would that be before or after the cast comes off... LOL

In all honesty.... A few weeks after

I am 6ft and 265 and had no problem getting on the top bunk.

There are 2 foot treads located on the cabinets, one on either side. As you're facing the rear of the sleeper, at the upper right on the cabinet, there is a hand hold. You can grab it, and put your left foot on top of the tread on the top of the cabinet opening to your left and then swing your right leg onto the bunk (Which is awkward) or grab the hand hold, repeat the same, only now, put your right foot onto the tread step to your right, on top of the cabinet and swing your left leg and the rest of your body up and onto the bunk. The latter method is easier.
As you look at the pic, you'll see the hand hold up to the left. The treads are on both sides, but only one is showing here in the pic. It's black and located just in front of the coffee mug. The one on the other side is almost directly opposite.

You guys are awesome. I haven't been in the sleeper of a Cascadia yet, so I know this. I think it's gonna be a whole lot easier than I once imagined. Is that the standard spec on the Cascadia?

I've seen that on cascadias that aren't 2 bunk units...
Now stop being self-conscious and just ask questions of your trainer. They are there to help you get the ropes of everything not just the big things. Just be honest even if you think its a stupid question. "Stupid question, How do I get up there without braking my neck."Kickstand-117 and Big Don Thank this.
