[A/S] Re: Thanks for the response
Greetings Kendra!
The era of the coach will make a difference. I believe that the
bunks described by Hunter were more typical of the 1970s era
coaches. If the coach happens to be a 1960s era coach, the factory
offered hammock bunks that were aluminum frames with canvas streched
over the frame and a thin foam mattress -- the aluminum frame rested
on aluminum wall brackets and the other edge was supported
by "aircraft" cables that slipped into fixtures mounted to the
cieling. My '64 Overlander International originally was equipped
with a pair of these hammock bunks over the center twins (in fact I
slept in one as a child when the coach was new and I was five years
old) -- I seem to remember the original owners of my coach
indicating that the hammock bunks were not recommended for use by
anyone over 90 pounds.
Good luck with your investigation!
