Camper Bedding Question from newbie

Hello,
We just purchased our first camper, a Shamrock 233S. I'm trying to figure out the bedding. Do I need to purchase queen short sheets, or can I get regular queen sheets to work? If I do have to get special sheets, any advice on where to purchase? They seem very expensive.

Thanks for any tips!
  • We bought a cheap set of suspenders, ($4?)
    and separated the straps.Used one each way under the mattress.
  • We also use the clip straps. Just got mine at Walmart. Keeps the sheet on as well as tucking any extra you might have. Those short queen sheets cost a fortune.
  • We use sleeping bags.But then our bed gets folded up for travel. Sheets might be nice.
  • I have always used regular sized sheets and blankets on all of my RV beds, from a popup to hybrid to TT to 5er. I purchased the EZ clip straps to hold the sheets in the right location and to keep them from moving around on the mattress. I purchased one set of mine from Walmart, then couldn't find them there and had to purchase a set from Bed Bath and Beyond.

    Here is a place to get them online.
  • Ditto! Just but regular sheets and tuck the extra in. Don't waste the money on "camper queen" size sheets.
  • I use regular queen sheets... since my mattress isn't as thick as some, I make sure I don't get the ones marked deep pocket. width is the same, so I just tuck extra under at foot.
