 Topic: Makin' the bed in a 177Posted: 20 Jun 2011 at 6:17am |
I can only imagine. If it were me, I think I would need a fresh change of clothes afer that! However, just kidding about the RPG. It would certainly get rid of the bad guy but, probably remove the back 1/3 of the camper in the process!  Also, thank you for your service. Freedom isn't free, it comes at a price.

A short story about a grenade launcher:
When I was in Vietnam I carried an M-79 grenade launcher for a short time. One day I had to guard a POW while the other guy had to do something. When he started out the POW got up to follow him. All I had to do was put that M-79 in his face. He was looking right down that big barrel! The look on his face was priceless!  Terry |

Save room for the grenade launcher near the door, you want that to be accessible.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. This would allow me to make some small shelves/cubby holes for an alarm clock, flashlight, keys, 9mm, rocket propelled grenade launcher, etc. I have a regular queen size @ 60" X 80". A regular full size is (I think) is 54" X 76". I don't know if this size would work for you? I've been holding off replacing my matress until I decide which way I want to go. HodgePODge...it looks like a good/workable/nice system....I'm thinking....

I use an RV superbag to make my bed (actually mine is a Travasak which has now gone out of business.) They are a little pricey but I got mine at a bargain from a closeout store. The superbag is just the same as the Travasak. Follow this link for info: http://www.rvsuperbag.com/Standard-QueenSuperbag/productinfo/RVQ/
I put a fitted cover (use a sheet) on the mattress and the superbag on the top. The superbag zips up on each side, and the sheets are velcroed inside. When I get out of bed all I do is zip up the cover and smooth the bed. Yippee! No more struggling to make the bed!

Since we have the 182 there's the dinet/queen to deal with so we purchased a queen egg crate foam mattress and wrapped that with bedding. We just lay that on top when we convert it and roll it up when done. Not sure if this would be plausible for your setup.

For me it wouldn't be any different as my main issue is when I change the sheets. And sleeping on a blanket would be hot---sheets are much cooler. Making the bed on a daily basis is just pushing the top covers down along the edges Iknuckles do get a bit scraped) and that works for me.

I have a similar problem in my situation in my camper and have been trying to think of a solution. My matress is 60" X 80" and I'm not sure that Zippering 2 sleeping bags together would be quite large enough.
 I may be kind of different, but I am quite content to just throw a sleeping bag (if it's cold) or just a light sheet (if it is warm) on top of this banket thing that covers the matress. It came with the camper but, it doesn't seem to be well made and must be dry cleaned. In the morning, I just fold up/roll up the bag or sheet and stow it away. Regardless, the blanket thing gets messy and is hard to keep tidy. What do you think......if I bought a queen size blanket and put grommet holes all around the perimeter. Through the grommets, attach elastic stuff (kind of like a bungee) that would stretch underneath the matress (side to side & end to end) to always keep tension on the blanket - sort of a self straightening blanket. Does this sound like something that might work? I'm a little "out of my element" when it comes to working with fabrics.

+1 for just putting the fitted sheet around a mattress topper.
