Subject:Re: Westy top bunk rubbing inside of top

Yeah, mine does that, too. It's the fuzzy nature of the fabric that
tends to migrate. Never happened in my 84 Westy which had no fuzzy
fabric. My solution was to remove the flip-over part of the bunk and
install a custom made piece to cover the gap and keep stuff from
flying out of there when I hit the brakes. Nice to have the extra
storage.

The offending piece is part of the hinge for the bed.  When the bed is stowed for travel it is pushed to the rear as far as it will go, but it shifts forward and comes in contact with the top.
