Mattress Options?

Water test complete. Zero signs of any leakage at all. Thanks for the tip @Jagiven

Note that there is also a thread in this forum on Froli or Camco bed systems. That could solve your problem, too.

If the Dry-Den makes folding the bunk ends in too much of a pain, maybe we can roll them up and store them there.

I've gone through these mods over and over - do you have a link to the piano hinge you used? Love the way you did yours, would like to copy and want to make sure I grab the right one. Just got our x17z picked up yesterday! Whoo hoo!

Sorry, I thought I linked to it before.

Thank you Digital Fusion for your pictures and great advice. We just got started with a X17Z and found the mattresses lacking. We'll look at this for next season. And I loved the idea about the piano hinge!



Thank you again and safe travels!

[DigitalFusion]

Thanks for the kudos. That's what this place is all about though, helping other fellow campers!

Hope it helps, and happy camping!

I was just wondering, has anyone tried a mattress from this place out?
4 or 5 inch, Levi or Grayson?
It sounded really attractive; 60"x76" comes out between $430 and $555, depending on thickness and grade.
