Hi all,

Just trying to establish options for storing bedding. I like the idea of storing sleeping bags and pillows in the gaps between the beds when folded up. Try to make sure that the foam mattress folds flat and there are no bits hanging out the sides. Interested to know what others do.

Cheers
Steve

Good thread, I don't know what I'll do yet. I'd be interested in people's responses including specifying if they have the foam, or inner spring mattresses, and also if they are using the egg crate foam.

Roll it up an tuck it at the top end of the bed, fits better on the rear than the front, but it fits and is there when you pull the bed down, just straighten it all up.

We fold the ends up with the eggshell and fitted sheets. Doonas and pillows on dinette or bunk. So I'm not sure how to vote cause I do both.

Bunks are made up. Front bed is folded with eggshell and fitted sheet. Pillows and doona on top bunk. Rear bed is only used for guests.

My wife's department, :D but she folds the bed up with the eggshell and sheets still on. When folded up the pillows are tucked up high under the straps (the narrow part of the bed forms a shelf) and the doona fits in between them. All there ready to set up when we stop.

Do not want to leave you in suspense but there is feedback from Jayco that packing the bedding with the bed is a possible cause for cracking the bed ends. As I am out of warranty I do not want to push Jayco necessarily to fix under warranty, but I only want to fix it once. Jayco is suppose to ring me about this and I will see what they have to say direct (I have only got the story from an agent). Once they have spoken I will convey the answer.

We just use sleeping bags and comforters. When we travel, they go go the bunk or table and get made up when the ends are lowered. It's not a caravan really you know, just a posh camper trailer!

Hi all,
For those that consider they do both, I am happy for you to vote "fold up with bed", as there is something left on the bed. If this something is only a sheet then use "stored else where".

The main feedback is that it is not un-common for people to fold stuff up with the bed.

Thanks for replies so far

We keep the topper on the bed, the rest is folded and put on the spare bunk/table. We literally have about 8 woollen blankets in there plus sleeping bags for all. No way we are ever getting cold!

I agree with millers I folded memory foam up in bedding lucky still under warranty and cracked bed ends now I take everything of and pack flat on bunk beds no more risks for me just to save 5 minute work

Sleeping bags go into bottom of wardrobe, pillows in the o/heads (along with all four bed end lights) bed cover goes in the narow cupboad behind the off side dining bench seat. Stows quick and easy, the joy of having an 18.57-7!
