Just curious we are buying a 2015 volvo 670 not a choice we would have picked but that's a whole other story. The weight limit on the top bunk is 250, without all the rude comments and childish remarks of "lose weight" has anyone reinforced their top bunk and if so how did you do it. My husband exceeds the 250 mark and I have stage 4 arthritis in my knees so he doesn't want me climbing up there. (Anyone that has a volvo know how high up it is and I'm 5'4) has anyone beefed up their bunk???

I realize this is not an answer..... But it's killing me.....
Why not both sleep in the bottom bunk? Is sleeping in the top bunk while the truck is in motion safe? -
I'm sure she means while they are stopped it is often uncomfortable to sleep 2 people in a twin size bed
Aamcotrans, Puppage, Big Don and 2 others Thank this. -

Its not only unsafe but I think illegal.But one of them may not drive.Big Don Thanks this. -
I know a guy that's 350 lb and sleeps in the top bunk. They dont design these things to fail right at 250.
6daysontheroad and HeWhoMustNotBeNamed Thank this. -
Can't give you a maximum weight .. perhaps your owners manual will. When I'm solo, I use it as a shelf for storage, the safety net holds it in.. There's at least 250 pounds.. when I have a trainee on board, they sleep on the top bunk with some of their gear, another 250 plus.. plywood may help if you think it's needed..
Note : I'm not in a volvo -
