Weight limit on Bedroom slide Pinnacle rear bedroom

Does anyone know the weight limit on the slide out for a pinnacle rear bedroom ? Would like to put a different bed in and don't want to overload the slide. Thanks for any help or ideas!!

We added a new mattress to our FLSA. It is much thicker and weighs considerably more than the original but we have not experienced any issues with the slide. It has been in there for over a year now. Good luck!

I don't know the exact weight but it is a luxury plush king size matress, 12 inches thick. I don't think it there would be many mattresses weighing drastically more. Additionally, when we travel, we load a few fairly heavy items on the bed for a soft ride so as far as slide out operation, we load another 80 pounds on top of the bed.

We put an I-Comfort memory foam thick mattress on our 2015 FBTS without problems. The only issue we have found is that it is much heavier when lifting the bed to get to the storage compartment and does not stay up on its own. We are thinking of getting a stronger hinge but haven't done that yet. Anyone have suggestions???

We put a Sleep Number King in after our 1st year out and couldn't be happier.

Didn't have to worry about weight.

Safe travels...

We replaced Our Denver mattress with new premium mattress (much better) about 15" thick. We also found the bed assy. was hard to lift and wouldn't stay up , so I had to replace stock struts which were 80 lbs. with 120 lbs and everything is ok now.

No I don't at this time ,but I will try to find part #s for You.
First thing You will also need to do is check the struts that are currently on Your bed for following to made sure You are getting correct ones . 1. Measure length of strut fully extended from center of hole on each end of rod. 2. Look at side of strut to see what pound they are now should have #s on them. I believe they may be 80lbs now and they make 120 & 150 lbs.
