Class C - Increase Overhead Bed Weight Limit
I have a 2020 Thor Magnitude Super C Diesel, floorplan model BB35. I have a near Queen-sized bed (only 59" wide instead of the normal 60") in the overhead (over the driver and passenger sear) area that only has a listed weight limit of 250 pounds. Some things to keep in mind before replying:
(1) Yes, I have confirmed it is in fact 250 pounds. It's listed on the warning sticker right below the bed and I have confirmed this by speaking with Thor directly.
(2) Both Thor and the service center where I purchased the motorhome are unable to advise me on why it is so low and how to reinforce it.
(3) My intention is to be able to sleep two adults up there that camp with us, so figure I would like to increase the limit to at least 350 pounds.
(4) I have attached the schematics/plans for the overhead cab area that were provided to me by Thor, if that helps anyone in advising me.
Is there anyone that knows how to reinforce this properly or can recommend me to a shop that could advise me? I am located in southern NJ.
