With our leisure travel, I like to have the bedding out of sight. We store our twin travasacks in the back upper cabinets, one on each side. Two pillows each go in the wheel well/ottoman areas. If I need more upper storage, I may have to rethink this, but for now it's good.

I've spent every night for the past month+ in a Travasak, 'camping' in the new house while moving in piecemeal, and taking a short break to meet Lynne for B-5. No problems with the zippers or anything else. I have both the single and double 'saks. Both have the Velcro around the whole of three sides. I bought them from an online supplier for a bit over 1/2 the price CW gets for them. I'm quite happy with them, other than when one person has to put away the double unassisted...

My Travasak also has Velcro full length on both sides - very nicely constructed, with excellent zippers. Good Product in my opinion.

One benefit I see of the RVSuperbag is that you can get a summer side and a "tropical" side. I assume (nice word) that the "tropical" is lighter than the summer. I find the summer to heavy many times in the RV.

To stay on thread - both would store the same, but the RVSuperbag, comes with a pillow sham type of storage, but it looks like you may need to separate the sides, to use the shams ?

We have a double bed sized sleeping bag that we bought about 15 years ago. It has zippered sheets. It is quite comfortable. We roll it up in the morning and stuff it in the supplied duffle shaped bag and store it directly under the entertainment cabinet. The little space there is pretty useless but it turned out to be nice place to store the SB.

We will keep the sleeping bag as long it is comfortable and works well. I guess what I am saying is that a travasak could be stored in the same area under the entertainment cabinet in our RT Versatile. It works well for us. We like to have the rear area of the van as a lounge area - like a couch with the TV area. It only takes 5 minutes to set up for bedtime or wake-up time. I haven't seen a Travasak but plan to see one personally next time we go to Florida at a CW there.

Here is our solution. I mentioned this in another message thread but this time I have pictures. We bought two 36" x 80" 3.5 lbs Holofil sleeping bags with zip in flannel liners that can be removed and cleaned. They are rated down to 25 degrees which I assure will be our limit in the van. The cost was $30 each at Costco. They are Coleman brand Issaquah bags. Since Issaquah is the location of Costco's home office I suspect they were made specifically for them but Amazon.com also has them. They are designed so they can be zipped together to make one king size bag similar to the Travasak. As you can see they fill the Pleasure-Way Plateu Sprinter TS electric sofa bed almost exactly.



Here they are put away in black stuff bags that measure about 12" in diameter by about 16" long. We can use them as bolsters.

We have used Travasaks for over 20 years and now that we found fitted mattress pads and sheets for our RT210P twin beds we store our Travasaks in an extra bedroom closet at home.
