Hi! This is CyndyRPOD190. My husband & I just bought a new RPOD190. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on sheets or a mattress pad for the queen bed. Also, any suggestions on a mattress pad or sheets for the bed that is over the table. Looking forward to getting it all set up for some adventures. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks very much!

Hello Cindy, Welcome and congratulations! I hope you and your husband have many fun adventures and make many great memories with your RPod. My wife and I have really enjoyed ours. If it has a short queen mattress, you could look for sheets on Amazon, Camping World, or other sites. As for the table/bed, I can't help you there. I modified the dinette bed to make it a 3/4 size bed. We found 3/4 size sheets on Amazon. You can see my mod via the link in my signature. Some may be of use for you.

I bought a mattress pad and 2 sets of sheets at Camping World right after I bought my 180. They gave me a discount, but I thought the regular price was reasonable. The mattress is a short Queen, so a Queen fitted sheet will have a lot of extra to tuck under. I used a quilted twin comforter that was a little over-sized, from BB&B, so I wouldn't have to have a long overhang on the side of the bed. ------------- John '16 R-Pod 180 |

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 Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

| 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 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 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 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. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M618BN5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M618BN5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 [The price has nearly doubled since we bought them.] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078QGCR1V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078QGCR1V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J5HX864/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - 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.

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. ------------- Julie |
