Ideas to Shed Weight in Truck Camper

[Grodyman]

I am looking at ways to shed some weight on my Lance 830. One area I'm looking at is the stock queen innerspring mattress. I'm not sure of the weight, maybe around 75lbs. plus I have a pretty heavy 2" memory foam topper as well.

I am looking at replacing the factory mattress with a 4" firm foam mattress with cover and placing the memory topper on top of that, or ditching the heavy memory foam for standard light egg crate foam topper. I think I can save 40-50lbs or more for not much cost/loss of comfort.

Worthwhile or spitting in the wind?

I don't have a TC but, weight reduction is the sane for all RV's.
Carry less stuff and replace stuff with lighter stuff.

Before you change the mattress, make sure it will be comfortable. Saving 50 lbs is not worth sleeping on a miserable mattress.

And, if you reduce the total weight by 200-300 lbs, will it be worth the effort and expense?
