My husband and I are new owners of a 2016 RPOD 179. We have had it out twice since we got it. We really love the RPOD! Only one question how do you make the bed so the sheets stay put and look nice?

Have you tried double sided tape? Wink    We have enjoyed our 179 since March, but have yet to figure out a good answer to your question. I have finally adopted an "It is what it is" attitude and don't worry about it.

No I haven't tried that yet but I was thinking of sewing velcro to the sheets, blanket and cover in hopes that this would help. But I might have to take the same attitude or go back to sleeping bags like we had in our tent trailer.

Welcome, congrats on your 179. That is one of the great mysteries of time!
If you come up with a good system definitely post it 😀

Thanks. I will. Looks like I will be doing some research over the winter (non camping) months.

Our resolution to the sheet problem is to purchase one fitted bottom sheet, and use opened sleeping bags as your cover.  Safe Travels.

Yup, we just used the sleeping bags we used in our popup.

Thanks everyone, I really think to save time in the mornings I will just do the open sleeping bag on top and fitted sheet on bottom. :)
