The PO replaced the bunk bed support straps on our coach with chains, and I would like to go back to the original design. I haven't found any source for the straps from the usual places, are they available anywhere. I haven't found any guidance on replacing with a seat belt type strap either.

Belt is not the issue, but the steel plater that connect to the ceiling
latch.

What Jim said. You need the belt hook brackets which bolt to the ceiling
framing and hide behind the headliner. Then you can make any belt set up
you want as long as the tang on the end of the belt will mate with the
ceiling hook.

Sir
Regarding Bunk bed ceiling Hook and belts:
May I suggest that you contact the folks at www.Seatbeltplanet.com sending them the following photo, and measurements of your belt and desired color including your preferred Mounting strategy at the Bunk end. I'm pretty sure they have the hooks but, Im not sure what hardware GM used on the bunk end but, if they don't have one and you still have it they will use yours. ( I suspect it's simply an anchor hardware . ( I don't have a bunk around to tell you) But someone else could tell the lengths and hardware needed. You ,ay find the cost to be somewhat reasonable.

They will manufacture you a couple using DOT type stitching of a seat belt, the same as the stock unit: perfect for your application.
They've made me custom seat belts for other custom cars and Ive been happy with the results. They would be very happy to discuss exactly what you need. Ive also used them to rebuild seat belt systems where the belts have been junk or damaged.
