Can't your driver climb from the lower bunk? It's just a step and a hop up there.

americanmadetrucker Thanks this.

You're not supposed to straddle both cabinets. That's quite a show for the driver in the lower bunk. They're just set up like that in case you prefer one side or the other.
1) Stand on lower bunk facing bunks.
2) Place one foot on one foot hold (whichever side you prefer)
3) Stand with that foot (the hop-up part).
4) Use handle above cabinet to help you finish the climb into the top bunk.
Coming Down (Technique 1):
1) Sit at edge of bunk facing front of cab.
2) Place/aim foot at foothold you wish to use.
3) Use handle to stabilize your turn and descend onto the foot going to the foothold. Now you are facing the bunks.
4) Once on foothold, place other foot on lower bunk.
5) Step down to floor.
Coming Down (Technique 2):
1) Kneel at edge of bunk, facing back wall.
2) Reach one foot toward the foothold below you.
3) Use handle to stabilize your descent onto foothold.
4) Step onto lower bunk, still facing back wall.
5) Step down to floor.
There's also Technique 3; Jumping. I worry you might end up doing the Flintstone thing if you land too hard.
tucker Thanks this. -
Oh... There's also secret Technique #4 which involves the driver slamming on the brakes while the top bunk occupant is unrestrained. Bunk occupant must then worry about landing in relation to the driver and the shifter.
