I am slowly starting to pack our Keystone 19 footer and just wanted to know where or what does everyone store their comforters, bed sheets and pillows in? I was considering a plastic tote or maybe one of those bags that you can suck the air out of.
Any thoughts would be helpful!

We put the really heavy blankets back in the house and get them out of the TT and use lighter bedding material. Then when weather cools again, in the fall, we put the heavy stuff back in.
As it's just the DW and I and a few pets, we store all the extra blankets under one of the benches at the dinette. We only have 1 extra set of sheets per bed, so that doesn't take very much room.
It's interesting how we move stuff in and out of the trailer over the Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter cycle. Our goal is to not have everything cluttered. And, if we take something out we should have waited a little longer for, we just make do.

The first decision I made (after a few years of packing too much) was to only take what we two need - do not take extra "in case of company". You will know of company in time to pack extra for that trip or they can bring their own! Several lightweight blankets take less room than comforters and allow you to adjust to the occasion. I've found that the polar-fleece throws are just great -very warm and space savers, besides! I put them over a light blanket and am very cozy.
See ya' down the road!

We do the whole thing - 1 set of sheets per bunk + 1 set flannels for us, 1 fleece blanket and 1 quilt. 2 pillows per bunk. In our 23SS we store the sheets on 1 shelf in the cabinet next to the rear bunk, the blankets above the bunks and the quilts below the bunks. Pillows give support and cushion to the pantry area of wire baskets that we added in 1/2 of the wardrobe. All easy to get to and stays neat and organized. Also store extra towels above the rear bunk and extra lt weight fleece throws above the front bunk. Still have plenty of room for all the other standard supplies. I don't use the "space bags" as it's just one more step in breaking camp or have to get the vacuum out when we get home - just shake out and fold. We find that we have plenty of room in the ROO for everything we need and a few "extras" - like the dutch oven, blender and so on. There are very few things we add on an "as needed" basis. Most everything is already there.

We just have 2 travasaks. 1 for the parents and 1 for our son. They roll up nicely and store in the dinnette bench. My wife loves them because it takes her seconds to set up the beds as I finish the outside setup.

We use sleeping bags and leave a bottom sheet on the mattress when we fold up. Stuff the sleeping bags on top of the folded mattresses when traveling. Works great...

We place a fitted flannel bottom sheet over the mattresses (easy to wash periodically during the season) and sleep in the same king size sleeping bags we had with our Coleman-by-Fleetwood Bayside popup. These roll neatly and store behind the sofa when we're folded up. They just remained on the beds in the popup. Pillows store easily in one of the big overhead cupboards.
I send the big sleeping bags out to the laundry at the beginning of every season, they have a giant washer that these fit nicely in.
I can "make the bed" is less time than it takes to read this message,
The bottom sheet wasn't in this photo. I got that idea from another forum member soon afterwards.

I leave a fitted sheet on the bottom, I like sleeping bags in the cooler temps so I just throw cute quilt over the SBags to make it look nicer lol. I carry etc sheets with us in the cabinets.

I put a fitted sheet on each of the queen beds when we arrive at our destination. They stay on for the duration of our trip (even when traveling from night to night) Then I have blankets and pillows which I store in the clean and dry bathtub.
If we are staying in one place, the beds stay made the entire time. If we are moving everyday, the sheets stay on the mattresses and the blankets and pillows go in the tub.
