BUNK BED AND LOFT LADDERS (IF EQUIPPED)
(See page 97)
Your RV may be equipped with a loft or bunk bed sleeping area.
Access to the upper sleeping area is through the use of a separate
steel ladder or a wall mounted wooden ladder.
Some types of bunk beds do not include a ladder.
Steel Ladder
The steel ladder (A) is equipped with hooks (B) that either fit into
mounting points in side board of the loft bed or over the edge of the
side board itself. Make sure the ladder is securely in place prior to
climbing to or from the loft. Store the ladder when not needed, as
access to any nearby doors may not be possible while it is in place.
A
Wood Ladder
Typically the wood ladder is attached to a wall (C). Simply lift and pull
to place the ladder in the out and climbable position (D). Reverse the
procedure to store the ladder when not in use.

BED RAILS
(FOR ELEVATED BEDS AND ELECTRIC BED LIFT SYSTEMS)
(See page 97)
Standard Elevated Beds
Various products are equipped with standard built-in elevated beds
or bed loft areas. These beds can be upwards of 4 to 5 feet above
the floor level and are often enclosed on one, two, or three sides and
sometimes even partially on a fourth side. Because there are so many
potential users and different types of elevated bed designs, elevated
beds are not equipped with bed rails.

Electric Bed Lift Systems
Many of the Sports Utility Trailers/Toy Haulers come equipped with
rear cargo area electric bed lift systems. (See the label in the Toy
Hauler for proper operation of the rear cargo area electric bed lift
systems). The bottom beds in some floor plans also can be converted
to dual sofas. Again, like the standard built-in elevated beds, because
of the design and the various uses, the rear electric beds are not
equipped with a bed rail system.
Use of Bed Rails
We feel that you, as the customer, are best equipped to determine if
a bed rail system is necessary or best for you based on your intended
uses, the actual users of the elevated beds, and the comfort level of
the users.
For those customers who would prefer using an elevated bed with
a bed rail, there are numerous bed rail styles, sizes, heights, and
designs available, even in the style of bumpers, which can be
purchased at various retail locations and/or on the internet.
When installing a bed rail please make sure that you follow the
manufacturer's installation instructions carefully and that you take in to
account the size and height of the mattress (either originally installed
or later replaced by you) so that the rails are the appropriate height
above the top of the mattress. This is important because residential
mattresses differ in size from the RV mattresses originally installed.
Please also make sure that the bed rail you select allows for
adequate room to get in and out of the elevated bed after
installation, especially in the event of an emergency.
Tips for Safe Usage:
•
Please use sound judgment when allowing children to sleep in
any style of elevated bed. Generally, it is not suitable for children
under the age of 6 to sleep in an elevated bed or bed loft area.
•
Discuss proper usage of any elevated bed/electric bed lift system
with your children and make sure they are supervised if playing
in the bedroom/sleeping area of the trailer with elevated beds.
Please do not allow horseplay on or under the elevated beds and
no items such as hooks, belts, jump ropes, or towels should hang
from any part of the elevated bed.
•
Place a night light in the bedroom/sleeping area so users can
see at night when getting in and out of the beds.
•
No more than one person should be in an elevated bed at once
and make sure you follow the weight restrictions posted on the
warning label near the beds.
•
Do not allow children to operate the rear cargo area electric
bed lift systems in Toy Haulers. The lowering and raising of the
electric beds should be only conducted by an adult. No person
should be on the electric beds when being lowered or raised.
If you have any questions about elevated beds, Toy Hauler electric
bed lift systems, or bed rails please contact our Customer Service
Department.
