We have a 2004 Viking popup camper with a king bed on each end. The bed on the back end squeaks everytime you move and the bed on the front end is quiet. We can not seem to find the source of the squeaks. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
You might want to tighten the bolts on your bunk end rollers, and, lubricate the channels with a silicone lubricant. Check the screws/bolts on your bunk end supports and make sure your wheel chocks are firmly tapped against your tires to minimize movement.
is the bunk composed on one solid piece of plywood or two seamed? perhaps the wood seams are rubbing?
my older wood floors sometime squeek - and it's often the boards edges rubbing. a bit of talcum powder may stop the squeaks. Can't hurt much, anyway!

Yep, had the same problem. We rarely sleep on the King bed in front so it didn't squeek. The rear queen did it badly.
It was the hinges on the pole set that's meant for the bed to slide out on to. Took out my heavy duty silicone spray, sprayed the front and rear hinged pole sets once, let them dry, and sprayed a second time, and let them dry. Afterward, I wiped any silicone residue off of the poles with a cloth.
Haven't had any squeeking beds since. I say this should be done once every 1 -2 years.
Have a good one.
