I'd like to hear from experienced RVSuperbag users

hello - Our new travel trailer (Escape Trailer Industries 19) has a full size queen bed that is landlocked on 3 sides. We got past the crawl over issue, and are trying to figure out how to "make" the bed.

I have heard from people that have actually USED the RV Superbag and love it. I get all the "pro's" and would like to hear additional testimonials ... but I'd REALLY like to hear the con's (aside from the high price)

I'd also like to hear from those that made your own.
  • Our first travel trailer had a land locked 4 sided (full) bed in it. It has a small area on the corner that was the access point.

    To make the bed, we put on fitted sheets, as it was a standard (full) mattress. We then simply folded up the blankets and piled them up. At night, we'd throw them back out.

    After a while, we tried tucking in the sides and bottom and crawled in like a cocoon. That didn't work very well either.

    We tried the fitted sheet and sleeping bags too. That was WAY too hot!

    We tried just throwing the top cover over the fitted sheet.

    We found, folding the blankets up was the easiest solution, leaving the fitted sheet.

    There really is no easy way to do it.

    For us, making the bed wasn't the issue. The issue was having to crawl over each other to get in and out. The real clincher was when my mother and father-in-law used the camper for a week and they had to climb over each other to get in an out. They had a really tough time. That got us to thinking about our future with it, and how miserable it was crawling over each other in the middle of the night and such.

    We had the camper about 3 years and sold it. Replaced it with a camper that had a walk around bed. Never regretted making the switch.

    Yea! That was the master bed in that corner:

  • Not *very* experienced with the Superbag...

    We have Travasaks in our trailer and we couldn't say enough wonderful things about them. We have twin beds that are both against walls - on three sides! Tried to refashion regular bedding, but it was a hassle to make the beds to say the least. The Travasaks work exactly as planned - give them a shake and lay them down in the morning and they look great - like comforters.


    Then we got our Roadtrek B with a full bed in the rear. Travasaks are no longer available so we got the RV Superbag for it. Mainly because we want to make bedding easy and we want to be able to wash the sheets. We haven't actually gone camping with it yet as we bought the B just before winter. But our Superbag is very similar to the Travasak - with a flip over winter/summer side. I did do extra sewing of the Superbag to enhance the washability of it (our Travasaks have probably 8" squares, where the Superbag has really huge squares).

    So - here's a semi-experienced review... :)

    We kinda do the same thing on our large beds. We can zip two of our camping bags together to make a large sleeping bag... No problems keeping warm using those on any of the cold nights we encounter...

    We have used sheets and blankets since we moved up from a tent to a cab over Camper! The camper was locked on 3.5 sides still worthy of the effort!
