Our first camper had a 50 by 72 bed in it. I removed one cupboard, and installed it in the spare space on the other side, and then bought a 70 by 82 inch foam mattress with a cover that is cut to fit the size. We used a queen sized fitted sheet on it and it fit quite nicely stretching over the corners.
The other option might be to have a section that you can keep your same mattress, but slip out a piece of plywood with supports, and the extra width is a cut foam section. For show, it just sits at the head of the bed under the duvet.. for sleeping the plywood slips out from underneath the mattress, and the foam lays alongside. The bottom fitted sheet would just slip over the extra section.
