remoandiris Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 A residential king would have fit in my 5er. Wish I had known before I bought the queen. Thought I measured correctly...apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDirectionHome Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 That's what I mean. An RV King is 82" wide, a residential King is 86" wide.

Pat & Pete Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Then there's the issue of sheets fitting properly Hey , you own an RV ... therefore , you must be rich ... therefore , you can afford : to have the sheets custom made ... That seems to be the 'logic' behind just about anything sold for an RV . Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirakawa Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 That's what I mean. An RV King is 82" wide, a residential King is 86" wide. Then there's the issue of sheets fitting properly I doubt the sheets will recognize the difference. I use regular queen sheets on an RV short queen mattress with no notice. I also have used queen sheets on a double mattress. Everybody wanna hear the truth, but everybody tell a lie. Everybody wanna go to Heaven, but nobody want to die.

GlennWest Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 A standard King will go in ours. We have had one. RV King is a better fit though. The standard was so tight we had to pull it out to change fitted sheet. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave O Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Many RV's have residential size beds. Our Monaco Windsor has regular size Queen and uses regular sheets etc. You just have to look for them. Dave O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Chance Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 OP, you must be referring to a bed labeled "RV queen" or "RV king." The queen bed in our GD Reflection is 60 x 80 and fits the same fitted sheets from our stix 'n brix perfectly. 2012 F350 CC LB DRW 6.7 2020 Solitude 310GK-R, MORryde IS, disc brakes, solar, DP windows Full-time since 8/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 We have an RV Gel Memory Foam mattress we bought for the rig as we have always bought mattresses for our gently used rigs. I t was ordered as an RV queen. Our fitted queen sheets fit fine with a little more tucked in at the foot when making it up. I am 5'11" and my feet hang off the end unless I scoot all the way up. I actually have no issue with that at all. I could have ordered a regular queen as the previous owner had. It makes making the bed and getting in it too much of a gymnastic event for us. I am asleep when my feet are hanging over so I never notice. I have great dreams of fly fishing and walking on beaches.

Kevin & Ros Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Our current coach has a short king bed. We contacted AB Lifestyles. They made the sheets to fit for the same price Amazon was charging for the standard sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
