Considering moving from our TT to a class B and the DW is not fond of the idea of making the bed every night. We now have a separate bedroom with a foam topper. Looking for bedding ideas, thanks.

My wife and I have a "B" and when we are camping have never changed our rear queen bed to the bench seats. We have a memory foam topper and bedding.

Have a RT190P, changed out to dual mattresses (makes getting to electrical easier). It works for us.....those couches as a bed, even with foam just didn't get it. Safe travels.

We use a queen Travasak. That company is no longer in business but the Superbag is a similar product.

We just bought a used 2003 RT 190 P with King size bed that we plan to leave as a bed for our trips . We don't even have a king size bed in our house so we are happy with this set up . For eating we will use the front table or eat outside when the weather allows it .

We had all sorts of campers before including a 28' 5 th wheels with double pull out . We will adapt just fine . Happy camping !!

Travasak, the sheets Velcro in, one side is for colder temps, flip it over for warmer temps. Similar to the Superbag, which is a copy of the Travsak.
I don't think Travasac is still in business.

My DW sewed up our own modified version of a Travasak.

The bottom layer is a piece of denim with a little Velcro at the bottom and 6" up the sides.

The middle layer is a simple "duvet" made from sheets. The 2" memory foam resides there. The sheet "bag" can be flipped for extra life between laundromats.

The top layer is another sheet duvet with some Velcro that mates with the bottom denim. This duvet gets nothing inside in hot weather, a thin down blanket for warm temps, or a heavier down comforter for cold weather.

The whole shebang rolls/unrolls in moments with the denim serving as a protective outer layer. Some Velcro straps make it compressible.

Simple as pie to make. Easy to adjust the stuffing for the season. You could run Velcro further up the sides if you toss and turn.

Another good idea, banannadanna.

We have the travasaks as recommended on this forum and we love it, best sleeping bag we've ever used. Still, even with a good memory foam, we get deep creases along a seam of cushions, so the duel mattresses retired4fun2002 suggested sound good. What mattresses did you use, retired?

Meanwhile, I'm dashing to eBay to look for travasaks.
