Does anyone know what the weight limit is for the pop top beds?

The number given to us by one of the exhibitors at the NEC seemed silly low for two adults and I can’t find anything online

Oops that didn't work. Hubby was fine on ours and he is about 16 stone. I think it depends on the pop top too, some are better quality than others, we had a Westdubs

And looking on line the weight they give tends to be for the roof rack weight for example what you can put on the actual roof, not sleeping in the bed

I'm assuming 2 adults of reasonable size.

My other half is shorter and lighter than me

The Belly Is Gaun Tae Get Ye
First two nights away in new (to us) van at the smashing East Fortune CL site in East Lothian.
Great just to pull up, plug in and that's it.
Mastering the water/ heating / boiler system may take a little time and it seems to have a water leak in the toilet/ shower area.
Fantastic not needing to make bed in evening and being able to sit with door open and fly screen in place.
All in all a good first experience although it may be a bit more expensive as we managed due to a communication error to drive away still connected to the electricity resulting in damage plastic face plate of the hook up.

Nice spot.

We head home today. I was saying to my wife that it’s so nice not to have to pack a suitcase, slog to an airport, and wait for hours to get on a crammed tube of disappointment.

We’ll get up, drive to the port, have lunch in the queue, and drive onto the ferry. Easy peasy.
