Take sheets, sew them up the side and use them as inserts in the bags. If you get too warm you have a lighter layer. Do the same with lightweight blankets for cooler months.

Yes, I talked to my husband and he agrees, sleeping bags are the way to go. We might put a nice quilt over it and color coordinated pillowcases on our pillows.

My wife and I always used sleeping bags in our popup and then the pod. In the 171 it would have been nearly impossible to make up sheets in the nearly fully enclosed queen.

Thanks. I have some disabilities with my hands and hoped zipping the sleeping bag flat would work.

I must admit getting the duvet on the first time was a challenge but I folded the foam in thirds, slipped it into the center of the duvet then unfolded the sides and shook it a bit to settle it in.
Originally I just threw a flat sheet over the Rpod bed pad and tucked the edges under as best I could. This would work on the dinette cushions as well in a pinch. The covered topper takes care of it all pretty well. As for using sleeping bags...I am not fond of sleeping in one so I unzipped ours all the way and used it as a comforter. If cold enough, I can unzip two and layer them. Sleeping bags are easy to store since they roll up nicely and I can toss them in a bunk. |

The twin duvet cover is 66 inches wide by 80 inches in length so it can cover a comforter for a twin bed instead of fitting a twin mattress. Our queen topper is 60 inches wide and 2 inches in height so the duvet cover slips over it and buttons closed at the bottom with a few inches in length to spare. I leave the bed pad (short queen) that came with the Rpod uncovered and just put the covered mattress topper over it.

How do you get a queen-sized foam top into a twin size duvet. We got a foam pad queen and tried to pull the queen fitted sheet over it. It was a disaster.
With the dinette, is it better just to use sleeping bags over the cushions? I am in my 60's and my back freezes up. |

Thank you to the podder who posted about adding a foam mattress top wrapped in a duvet and folding it with fabric wraps to store in a bunk when not in use.
I found a queen sized 2" foam topper on sale at Bed, Bath and Beyond with a 20% off coupon, found a twin duvet cover (just wide enough and long enough to slip over the whole thing) and tried it out this past weekend! It is FABULOUSLY more comfortable to sleep on the 176t extended bed with it added to the rv bunk pad that came with the pod! Bless you for this easy-to-store idea! I also added beach towel curtains to our bunks with adjustable shower rods! I found two oversized 72x40 matching beach towels, folded them in half and sewed across the fold about two inches down to create a "loop" in the center to slip over the rods. This way they work as curtains OR you can slip them off to use as almost full-size towels then they dry on their rods later..double duty is my new watchword! ;0) Happy podding!

Thanks for the welcome! I'll try to post photos as soon as the TT comes out of hibernation! I thought it would happen by now, but here in CT it is still in the 30's!
