Re: Getting Up Into The Roof! How?
The front part of the bed slides forward and rests on ledges either side of the hightop. There is about a two foot six gap left to allow anyone to get up/down. I can get up and down in a few seconds but then I'm not exacly massive.

On a high top and all pop tops there is access at all times for the obvious safety reasons.
pop tops can vary the access route some front, some middle, some rear, where as High tops usually have a shelf that pulls out (not on rails usually) and locks, giving access in the middle via the kitchen units.
the remarks were not sarcastic, just a light hearted response to a very unusual question

Re: Getting Up Into The Roof! How?
Here's the extract from the Autosleeper manual telling you how to make up the upstairs bunk.

I am totally confused as to whether the ladder is a ladder or just a storage area restraint. (see underlined).
As you can see by this photo, in my case it acts as a restraint to stop the awning and other bits and pieces from flying about.

By the way - what do they mean by 'heavy braking'? I don't think mine has one of those! - perhaps it was an optional extra???
