Narrative

The bunk beds in the rear room of this 5th wheel camper are approximately 5' off the ground and are not equipped with safety like a standard bed of this height would require from other regulations. This is a MAJOR safety issue that resulted in facial and upper body injuries to my 12 year old daughter when she fell out of the bunk while sleeping. Speaking with others this is a very common occurrence and have talked with those that have injuries ranging from general soreness/bruising like my daughter to more serious injuries like broken bones including someone that told me their child broke a vertebrae. This safety issue is not specific to my model and effects many model RVs from many manufacturers. Please require manufactures to follow the same regulations from the Consumer Safety Product Commission here: https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Bunk-Beds These rules have been on the books for over a decade yet not applied in RVs
