Question:
Hi, My current bunk configuration is two 8 foot bunks. One on each side. I would like to convert them to roller bunks. I am reading in your posts that I could use two 4-foot roller bunks on each side however I only have two cross bars for mounting. How can I mount two 4-foot roller bunks on when it looks like I can only use one mount per roller bunk? Is there a solution to this?

Hey Peter, in a situation like yours you'd want to attach the roller bunks to the top of the wood bunk. This allows rollers like the part # CE27700 the support they would need.
