Comforters

Why do rv mfg. put those bulky comforters into the bed rooms of rv's. Altho they look nice they are a PITA to stow when going to bed. Bed spreads are a lot less bulky and take up less room in the closet....

  • I can't imagine taking my comforter/bedspread on and off every single day.

    If you are too hot at night to use the comforter/bedspread AND a blanket, then either:

    1. skip the blanket and just use a comforter; or
    2. get a pretty quilt and use that as your blanket and skip the comforter.

    Now there's nothing to have to fold and store every night and you're comfortable.
  • You are correct. Ours weighed so much it was difficult to fold and it took up an entire storage bin! So we stored ours in daughter's garage and just use a nice blanket and tuck it in.
  • We also took off the comforter, pillows and bolster and stored them for whoever gets the trailer when we are done with it. They do match the decor, but are sleazy and cheaply made. I made up a quilt with complementary colors and a size that actually fits the bed. It's much nicer having a cotton bed cover that can be laundered if it becomes necessary.
  • We stored the comforter and throw pillows that came with our trailer in a closet at home. I bought a bed in a bag that complements the decor.

    We use ours. We just tuck it in at the foot of the bed so its weight doesn't pull it down during the night.
  • Since our coach didn't include a mandate to use the included comforter, we passed it on to friend that admired it. :)
  • The comforter that came with our rig is stored somewhere in a closet at home.
    When and if I sell the trailer, I will search for it and pass it on to the new owner.
    I think it looked something like this....

  • They do look nice. Mine is on the bed in the spare bedroom in my stick and brick home.
