Hiya

I've bought a used Pennine Fiesta, and the poles that support the beds look very thin, they are supposed to be double beds, but does anybody know the official weight limit these fold out beds can take?

Thanks Jules

everything can be fixed with WD40 and gaffer tape.
If it moves and it shouldnt --Gaffer tape
If it doesnt and it should-- WD40

That's nice to know, I was worried about turning over or moving LOL, I should be ok then as I'm sharing with my 10 year old, it was the other end that worried me, as my sons combined weight would be around 27/28 stone.

Thank you both for answering.

Jules

Wife & I must = 30 stone in our 14 year old Dandy.  Bed is made from 4mm plywood on an Aluminium frame with one piece of 20mm square tube across the centre.  Only time there was ever a problem was when the rivets on the bed hinges sheared last year.  This was due to me fitting gas springs to help turn the beds.  Fitted new ply, along with stainless steel rivets.  Problem solved.
