I'm not that familiar with the caravan, but I think it would depend on what sort of bunk it is. If it's one of those with two poles with canvas stretched between, it would probably be only suitable for a small child, but if it is a more substantial wooden structure it would probably take more weight. I think it would largely be down to how it is supported. The ones with poles usually slot into plastic "U" shaped cups fixed to the wall, and I doubt whether they would take much weight at all.
How old is your daughter? If she's under 6 you may have no problem either way, but if she's 10+ you might, unless the bunk has fairly substantial support. I built bunks in my last caravan, a 1988 Elddis Tornado, and they would take our weight as two 60 somethings. They were solid wooden constructions though.
One of the things I like about these older vans is that you don't have to worry about depreciation if you modify them to suit yourselves, so maybe a bit of DIY construction work might make the bunk suitable for an adult.
