How do you make the corner bed?

[okmunky]

My new mh has a rear corner bed which is difficult enough to get into at night. How do you make it look "made up"?

So far the best I havemanaged is to put the fitted sheet on the mattress topper only. That way I can fold it back, slip the fitted crners on and then flp the topper back flat. The top sheet and blankets arefolded neatly and stacked against the wall.

Here is a place to start:

TravaSac Single Blue 42" X 80"

I tried different searches for Travasac (the bed you don't have to make), but came up a little empty. I can sympathise with your situation. We had a Tioga 24-D with a corner bed and it was bad for my back.

Put on the fitted bottom sheet. Sew a pocket on the corner of each piece of bedding that goes into the corner of the RV. "Push" the bedding into place with a wooden dowel. After all this, spread a lightweight sleeping bag over the whole mess.

Maybe the real joy of RVing is it really doesn't matter if the bed is perfectly tidy. I like the dowel rod idea, thanks!

I wish we had known about that "Travasack" when we had an Rv with a corner bed.

Two easy answers 1: old style elastic band sheet tighteners 2: new memory foam mattress ours is very comfortable and bends easy. Bend it, hook the sheets and blankets, then let it plop back in place. Plus if your bed has a corner cut off like mine you can cut the mattress with a large shears.

The very first thing I did after fighting the Tasmanian Devil of a corner bed mattress is buy a travasac. Now I just roll it up in the morning and un-roll it at night. Of course you can keep it made up all day, it is easy to handle, nice looking outfit.
I like the idea of the foam mattress, but finding the right density would be a big problem I fear. I need a firm mattress. I will admit that a travasac presents a bit of a problem if one person has to get up during the night. Be Aware!

Travasac looks interesting, thanks.

Love the idea of the "Travasack". Where does one get such item?
All help appreciated.

[Wolfgangr]

What is a "Travasack", how does it work, where do I purchase one.

I believe Travasack went out of business a couple of years ago. After a Class C with a corner bed we decided "never again!"

Here's a Marine Supply that may still have some in stock:

They are spendy though.
