   The 50 lbs is a turnoff to me too both due to handling and to increased tongue weight. I just have a topper right now, not very comfortable. StephenH, please let us know how the 6 inch one works out for you.

	+1 to SH, we also have the 10" and it just to heavy to manage when changing bedding. Takes the both of us to manage.

	This has been a problem since day one I believe. After only a few nights in our 177 we decided to replace the mattress, and this was in 2011. We purchased a eurotop mattress (AKA mattress in a roll) from Camping World and have been very pleased with its performance. We use it about 30 days/year and feel it is just as luxurious and comfortable as the day we purchased it 7 1/2 years ago.

	Yeah my mattress is fairly heavy and is almost a squeeze fit but I don't need to get under it very often.

	We have the 10" Zinus short queen memory foam mattress. We have been very happy with it. I find it to be very comfortable. The down side is the weight. It is heavy and hard to move to get to the spaces underneath to winterize or to get to the storage compartments I made. Amazon lists the 10" model at 52.6 lbs. I am about to order the 6" Gel Infused model which is 31.3 lbs. https://smile.amazon.com/Zinus-Gel-Infused-Green-Memory-Mattress/dp/B072M8JWGR/ I will move the 10" model into our house. I will need to find a way to adapt it to a full-queen size though.

	We have a mattress factory in town so I went there and bought a RV short queen matress. They had several firmness to choice from. I chose a firm one and I really like it. Cost was about $500.

	Hi It is time for me to replace the mattress in my 179 pod l did get a free one on warranty last year but it only lasted about as long as thr original factory mattress. So now it is time to get a decent mattress. I think a lot of you are using the zinuis mattress but I was concerned about the bad mold reviews I saw on Amazon. Is there other mattress options I should be looking at? If you have a zinus mattress did you have any problems with it and how do you like it?
