As one who is fussy about sheets, I used those elastic strap/clips and a standard flat sheet to get a nice tight fit and the same high quality of the sheets at home. RV sheets don't cut it in my opinion.

We got these sheets, mattress cover, and mattress when we got our new trailer.  The OEM mattress was junk.  The new mattress is very comfortable and is light weight.  The sheets are comfortable as one would expect from 100% cotton.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J5HX864/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1  [The mattress needed to air out for a while to get rid of the chemical smell, but after a couple weeks, it was fine.  Now we don't notice it at all.  The cloth cover that is on the mattress is not the best quality, but that was solved with the mattress cover.]

Never leave footprints behind.

We tried some sheets from Amazon and the thread count was really low so the sheets were quite flimsy.  They also didn't feel very nice.  Back they went.

We use both styles of bedding-sheets in warmer weather and sleeping bags in colder weather.
the sheets can be a pain. We sewed the top sheet to the fitted bottom sheet at the foot and at the side against the wall--that makes it a little easier to deal with .

We do things a little different, we use a double inflatable mattress on the bed so we can control the firmness (or in my case softness) and then an XXL double sleeping bag for the hubs, me and two dogs. Our other dog likes to sleep on the dinette bench. I find the sleeping bag much less fussy than sheets and such although I do bring tons of pillows;)

We purchased "RV Queen " sheets from amazon. I just did a search and found at least 8 offerings from them
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=RV+queen+sheets+set&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
they seemed to go from $25-50 for a full set of 2 sheets and 2 pillowcases.
Make sure they are "RV Queen" or they will be too big.
Happy camping
