Don't know the capacity, but the original board on my 93 was about 7/8" thick fiber board screwed down onto what looks like 2x2s. Pretty strong until it got wet from leaking windows. I replaced the 2 forward damage pieces with a more water resistant boards, along with new butyl window bonds and new rubber glazing moldings.

Not sure of the actual weight limitation but my guess would be 450-500 pounds. Had myself at 200 and my neighbor at 195 is up there monkeying with the window.

The only concern I would have is the slide out part of the bed. My girlfriend was up there and it was bowing a little (hopefully she'll never read this), she's only about 150. I would agree it's probably about 450-500. If you had a lot of weight up there often I would probably re-enforce the slide out portion a bit with another layer of plywood.
