Queen vs short or RV queen

This might be a silly question but here goes anyway.
I am thinking of buying a pillow top for my new 5er. Camping World is having a sale and offer a Queen and a Short Queen. How do I know which I have?
Thanks in advance for your help.
  • We measured the platform and had one made for the RV, sure do enjoy it and would do it again, it also cost us less.
  • Measure the platform your mattress sits on. In our first trailer the mattress was a short queen, but the platform was capable of holding a regular queen with only 1" of overhang. Opened a lot of cheaper replacement options.
  • Measure the distance from the bed to the opposing wall. If you still have room to go around a regular mattress, go for it. Good Luck and
    Merry Christmas

    If it is a standard Queen, go to any mattress store and buy what you really like!!
    That is what DW and I did, got a great firm pillow top for a great price.
  • Measure it!

    Regular queen is 80" long and common RV queen is 75".
