Bedding

Our situation of camping is going to be a big learning curve. The 182 gives me options of sleeping arrangements. Queen when we want it and single (twins) as we move around (1 night stay).

Originally posted by john in idaho Inexpensive sleeping bags work well and the top sheet doesn't get untucked.  One can even zip two together fora double.

Custom cut foam comes in different densities from super firm to very soft.  The thickness matters, especially with softer foams because you can bottom out.  Some other advantages to custom cut foam:  It fits in the space better. It's way less costly.  Good quality foam lasts for many years. It's light weight and it's easy to move around.  Rawest50's concern can be solved easily by making a dust cover for the foam.  If you can't do it yourself, your local sewing shop can knock one out for you [we've made several in our shop for RVs]. The cover allows sheets to slide just fine.  If you wrap the foam in a sheet of batting, it can have a more plush feel to it.  The cover can easily be removed [be sure to put a long zipper in it] for washing.  

Originally posted by rawest50 I wanted to just use our sleeping bags but the ruler of the house said she wanted sheets. Now the problem is getting the fitted sheets on the bed. The to far corners are a bear to get on.

My wife modified a set of sheets to help with making the bed. She sewed the bottom edges of the fitted and top sheets together and sewed elastic straps across the corners of the fitted sheet.

Wow! Lots of info! Thanks folks!
