Our first travel trailer had a land locked 4 sided (full) bed in it. It has a small area on the corner that was the access point.
To make the bed, we put on fitted sheets, as it was a standard (full) mattress. We then simply folded up the blankets and piled them up. At night, we'd throw them back out.
After a while, we tried tucking in the sides and bottom and crawled in like a cocoon. That didn't work very well either.
We tried the fitted sheet and sleeping bags too. That was WAY too hot!
We tried just throwing the top cover over the fitted sheet.
We found, folding the blankets up was the easiest solution, leaving the fitted sheet.
There really is no easy way to do it.
For us, making the bed wasn't the issue. The issue was having to crawl over each other to get in and out. The real clincher was when my mother and father-in-law used the camper for a week and they had to climb over each other to get in an out. They had a really tough time. That got us to thinking about our future with it, and how miserable it was crawling over each other in the middle of the night and such.
We had the camper about 3 years and sold it. Replaced it with a camper that had a walk around bed. Never regretted making the switch.
Yea! That was the master bed in that corner:
