The foam pads that I got was from a funiture store that specializes in repairs.
Got both foam pads for the dinette replaced for $110.00.........much better

When I was looking for replacements of our foam pads, I checked Google.  Probably a furniture refinishing store would either be able to do it or be able to recommend someone.  When I went researching the foam, I did go to someone who just restuffs and manufactures pads for boats, RV's, furniture, etc.  He had me sit on a number of different grades of foam.  Seems that there are many different qualities and densities.  Some will collapse quickly.  Of course, like most other things, you get what you pay for.  My quote for high quality foam for the 4 pads  in the dinette was $420.  Checked another vender for same quality foam and was about the same.  Waitiing for my next check from my trust account before redoing.  Safe Travels.]]> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:02:12 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=25211#25211 Mattress topper : Originally posted by greynomadI... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=25207#25207 Author: Footslogger03

I leave this Monday for New Mexico and have to go through Boise, ID and Camping World has a store there.
So Monday it will be out with the old and in with a new mattress. With taxes it cost $340.00. Camping World said I can use their dumpster for disposal...........

We changed our mattress prior to delivery.  Bought a European Style from Camping World, about $340.  Fabulous mattress.  About 8 inches thick with coil springs.  Can't say enough good things about a good nights sleep on this mattress.  Heading out this Friday for 5 nights.  Safe Travels.]]> Mon, 11 Jun 2012 08:52:09 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=25085#25085 Mattress topper : The mattress I got is so bad... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=25083#25083 Author: greynomad

The mattress I got is so bad that I roll into the center at night. I've even flipped the mattress thinking that would help but to no avail. I leave Oregon within 2 weeks and head south to New Mexico for another volunteer position. There is a Mattress company that has RV mattresses in stock so I'll just change the one I have out. .................Thanks for the feedback though

We purchased the 3" memory foam topper and cut it down to fit the converted dinett bed. It makes all the difference to a good night sleep. We store it under the left side storage area, it is kind of like wrestling an octopus to get it in and out. Wouldn't go camping with out it. ]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2012 18:49:32 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=25029#25029 Mattress topper : So you have the same size "Queen"... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=24947#24947 Author: greynomad

We did a trial run in the drive way, made the 1/4 inch luan folding (hinges were made of duct tape). used a hole saw to make a carrying hold, fold out. put that on top of the cushions and with the 4 inch double foam/memory foam on top We could not believe the difference, it is as good or better than our home bed. We can't wait to try it overnight. good investment for peaceful sleep. Hope we can make a run this weekend and give it a real try.]]> Wed, 30 May 2012 21:06:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=24727#24727 Mattress topper : Love those PA state parks!

We have a double size foam topper, and I've been thinking of moving up to the queen size. How much trimming do you need to do for it to fit?

We were out Memorial Day weekend with some tenting friends.  The area that we were at was nice and quiet, but the minute we were up in the tent area it was party central.  Our friends complained that one large group was up to 3 am playing techno and running around with flashlights, which made me think that they were in some sort of German discotheque.  On Sunday night there was another group with a Karaoke machine blasting Meringue music that was awfully disturbing to the point that we were making up songs to go with the music.  

It's amazing what can happen from one section of  a campground to another.

We bought the same "Canopy" memory foam mattress topper. It's very nice to sleep on, but we will need to trim it down a little to better fit the "Queen" bed in our 177.]]> Mon, 28 May 2012 21:57:53 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=24657#24657 Mattress topper : I was considering a new... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=24648#24648 Author: Guests

I was considering a new matress but, after reading some comments here on the Forum, I decided to try a matress topper.   It made a world of difference....no more springs poking me!  Also, I saved a few bucks in the process. Smile
 
I agree about the Holiday camping, though I was one of those out there.  I do have a spot where the situation has always been OK - hope it stays that way.
 
Anyway, with temps in the 90's and tree sap falling like rain, didn't do much outside
 
But wouldn't you know the weekend was saved by that hero of heros
 
 
48 of the original episodes from the 1930's (black & white)!
 
Followed by some intense truck and camper scrubbing (sap).

I totally agree about camping this weekend.  We never camp on the big 3 holiday weekends over the summer.  Brings out the party crowd.  I don't knock them for wanting to party - but a campground isn't your own private back yard where you can be rowdy until 3 am w/o bothering anyone.]]> Mon, 28 May 2012 13:21:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=24641#24641 Mattress topper : The dinette bed in our RP-172... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=24639#24639 Author: dsmiths

The dinette bed in our RP-172 is ok comfortable, but I know down the road the cushions will fail fairly quickly. After much gnashing of teeth and looking on this site, We bought a "Canopy" topper from Walmart. It has 2 inches of foam and 2 inches of memory foam. I plan to make a tri fold 1./4 inch luan plywood support between the topper and the factory cushions, I think this will help spread the "load" out evenly and make the cushions last longer. We bought a full sized, length is ok, but 4 inches narrower than our "Short Queen". I tell you laying on our hard wood floors this topper seems real comfortable. I will give you a field report as soon as we try it. We did not dare to take the pod out this weekend. Patoka lake about 40 minutes from home and other nearby camping sights will be Wild. Sorry I like quiet, we may go out next weekend. P.S. the topper with a washable cover was $109.00, I think this will greatly improve the sleeping experience. ]]> Mon, 28 May 2012 11:19:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2606&PID=24639#24639
