We have a heavy solid wood bunk bed with side dresser supports for the girls in our 1971 mobile home. We had to redo some of the 1"MDF subflooring with 1" plywood, and the bunk bed is resting across the original steel t-bar axel supports under the subfloor for additional support.
Considering this place rode out the 2010 Easter Quake (8.1, appx. 250 miles away) with no problems, the mobile home was pretty dang sturdy.
