Rear Queen Slide Bed Measurement

Looking to up grade the Ol Skipper, with 3 little ones space is really lacking. Looking at the quad bunk rear queen slide models. Need to know the true measurement of the queen bed. I'm 6'2", so a 6'2" bed just doesn't quite work. I've looked at a Surveyor SV255RS and the bed is 76" so that works, tight but works. I also have looked at a Kodiak 26QS, bed is 74", doesn't work.
I would like to know if anyone with an Outback 26RS or a KZ2505 Frontier/Sportsman/Outdoorsman, or Trail Cruiser TC26SB could measure the bed and let me know what size they really are.

Thanks, Dan

    Suggest looking for TT that has Queen with lots of foot space clearance. If factory short RV queen, simply remove the short 75" mattress and replace with normal "house" queen = which is 80".

    To support the extra 5", simply lay down a cut sheet of 5/8" plywood. Round its corners with a jig saw and put longer mattress on it. If wondering, I did this upgrade on my 2006 Jayco FBS and that extra 5" (or so) works great.

    Worked in my 2006 Jayco…
  • Thanks Guys. Limited selection close to home to try out. I was pleasantly surprised by the Surveyor actually being 76" rather than the 74" in the brochure and the Kodiak was exactly 74 as listed. There's an Outback 28RSDS that I'm trying to go look at just to see the bunk as the trailer is a little bigger and more $$ than I'm looking for. I kinda like the look of the Outback floor plan better, but if the bed don't fit,it won't work. Most of the ones I can find are 12 - 20 hours away at best. So so far the Surveyor looks like a winner, just wish it had a couple more windows in the front bunk...........
  • Youre about an inch taller than me, I can just barely lie straight across out rear queen slide. Id say the 74x60 measurement from the Outback is about right for the KZ. Mine is in storage at the moment...if it was in the driveway Id have the tape measure out right now! My advice is to actually get inside one and lie down in the bed and see for yourself if you will fit.
  • I'm 6'2" and "had" the SV255RS. Owned it the 8 years. It was tolerable but got to be a pain climbing over the wife to get out. She's claustrophobic so I had to sleep inside. I slept at an angle to accommodate the length of the bed.
  • Our 27 RSDS Outback, with a rear slide bed measures 74 inches long by 60 inches wide. The main bedroom queen is the same size. These are normally called a "short queen."

    You will need one marked full sized queen or residential Queen. Going to hard to find.
