What sheet size?

I tried to do a search because surely someone has asked this, but I didn't find anything.

We bought a 2017 Bullet 247BHSWE (our first RV). We don't get it till next Friday, but of course I'm already planning the stuff we need. I can't seem to find the dimensions of the beds. I assume the queen is a full size queen? The bunks are the odd cut-away double size.

Any suggestion what sizes, where best to buy, other suggestions? I found bunk sheets at Camping World online, but I can't tell if they're for the right size bunk...
  • Our Kitchen stuff is Dollar store and Goodwill items. That is to say they are inexpensive and somewhat disposable.

    Things can get knocked around pretty good in the camping world. :)
  • We use standard full/double sheets on the bunks. We got sheet corner straps (sold at wal mart) that have clamps on each end and about a 10" piece of elastic. They take up the extra slack on the cut corner.

    We like to cook - so out kitchen is stocked - couple cast iron pans, non-stick pan. Large pot, small pot, couple baking sheets, and a cast iron griddle that fits on my camper grill.
  • We have short queen. I took a queen fitted sheet and sewed a 3” tuck starting on a side ( right across the middle) to the other side. This shortened the sheet 6” and it fits our mattress perfectly but you need to try it on at this point to be sure. If ok, lay the tuck flat and stitch down OR do a “flat fell seam” which is similar to the side seam on jeans. Any seamstress can explain. The place where you begin and end this seam may not be beautiful or perfect, but it’s on the sides and tucked under the mattress anyway. My good quality garage sale sheets are much cheaper than specialty rv sheets !
  • I would wait until you can actually measure the bed. We bought a 2017 Coleman 192RD and the specs say it has a queen bed. When we measured it We found that full size bed sheets fit the best. Queen sheet were much to large.

    X2. Rv bed dimensions are all over the place and they change without notice
