Hello all, I have a 2016 Chaparral 371mbrb I bought new in 2017. I have brain cancer and have been living in it full time with my kids next door to my mom. Last night, I climbed up on the top bunk in the middle bunk room to put my 5 year old daughter's clothes away. The bunk collapsed and slid down the wall on one side. While I've gained a little weight thanks to the Covid closures, I'm 160lbs and the amount of toys she had up there combined with the small load of clothes I was putting away might have weighed an accumulative 40lbs at the most. Going to my local dealer is 100% out as they're a bunch of scumbags and the thought of moving it gives me anxiety for all the things we have that would need to be packed up and put somewhere. My daughter has always slept on the bottom bunk and we've used the top bunk as a play platform. We absolutely need that platform for her toys, does anyone have any experience repairing one of these themselves? Between myself and my 16 year old, we're pretty handy and could probably get something rigged up. Just curious if anyone has ever dealt with this issue and how they went about getting it done. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
