Difficult to find RV Bed Sheets

I am looking for the same thing that a lot of you are. Plain white linen sheets in 800 to 1000 TC for an RV Queen mattress that are affordable and durable. No Egyptian cotton, it's too soft and has no body to it. I also don't want the thread count TOO high. A very good friend bought me a set of sheets for a present. They were 1600 TC linen sheets. Those suckers would nearly stand up by themselves, and were so heavy and thick that it felt like you were sleeping underneath a canvas tarpaulin. I know she paid a fortune for them, but I only used them a few times before folding them up neatly and packing them away forever in the back of the linen closet like a good hoarder should!

(ATTN: Camping World!!! We have you a potential money maker here!)

We don't spend the extra $$ that is charged for "rv sheets". We have used a $6 pair of suspenders from Wal Mart for years to keep the sheets tight.

Camping World carries all the RV sheets. They are not the cheapest around but we have waited until they were on sale.

Last set we got were on sale and very high quality for our king. Top sheet was even fitted at the bottom which was a plus.

We are waiting/watching now to see if we can pick up an extra flannel set if they have a sale.

I use the AB Lifestyles sheets (first few in the Amazon link above) - they're very nice, high quality sheets. They're also made in the US.

X2 Thread count is not important as cloth quality. I have had some 800 thread count sheets that were worse then a good 300 count.

Find the style and thread count of the sheets you would be happy with on E Bay and then read the listing to see if they make custom sizes. Many do.

The vendor I used was fast to respond to my email inquires and was more then happy to make the exact size I needed in the fabric I wanted. Even though they were made in India, they were at my door in less then 2 weeks and the price was no more then what you would pay for store bought pre made sheets of the same quality. If you want to know the vendor I could look it up for you.

I also use the suspenders to make sure mine stay tight.

Fitted sheets big problem. We just buy whatever is next size up and use sheet suspenders at each corner to pull it nice and tight over the mattress. Now we can choose from a much larger range of bedding choices. Cost ranges from $1.50 to $15 for four. "Bed Band" brand ($13.99 Amazon prime) is a bit pricy but they work.

do a search on ebay for 72 x 80 bed sheet. over 4000 listings.

The search only brings up a list of 4000 sheets, not 72x80 sheets.

True but click on one or more of the listings and you will find they give you the option to select the size sheets to order. I tried several of them before I posted my initial reply.

Those look pretty good but they do appear to be sateen. I'm looking for just plain hotel quality crisp cotton sheets. If not I will order some of these.

Story of my life haha. If anyone comes up with a source for sheets that aren't slimy-soft let me know!

Ditto. Just want plain good cotton hotel quality sheets. Why should that be so hard?
