This topic has been discussed repeatedly. What is the brand and size of the air mattress that perfectly fits the downstairs bed in a ‘01-‘02 Weekender? Thought it was a Big Agnes but not sure.

Thanks.

I use the alps mountaineering rechargeable? air mattress. Queen size.?

Amazon carries it for about?$80. Probably could find it cheaper if you look around. I like it because it fits perfectly and isn't super thick.?

The ability to charge the pump in the car outlet is a huge plus too.

Hope that helps.

Peace.

I use a Coleman SUV air mattress but I think it has been discontinued. It does fit perfectly.

After years of uncomfortable sleep in the downstairs bed in our 2000 Eurovan full camper, we had tried all sorts of solutions, such as supplementing with Z-lite pads, backpacker inflatable pads, etc. Nothing really worked and the extra layers and bulk were always frustrating to deal with.

?

So, this summer we decided to splurge and purchased the Exped MegaMat Duo 10 (Medium Double) size, and used it as the only sleep surface (e.g. we removed the existing pads and left them at home).

?

The megaMat is a perfect size for the Winnebago full camper bottom bunk, very comfortable and warm. It's mostly self inflating, comes with a little hand pump to adjust the pressure, and easy to deflate. It has two valves (one for inflate, one for deflate). When the bed is not in use you can just fold the mat in half (leaving sheets/blankets in place) and it stores nicely in the trunk area with the bench seat in seating mode.

?

When deflated, it's also quite a bit thinner than the stock foam pads, so you end up with more cargo space in the trunk area as an added bonus.

?

The only downside is the price, but I think this is a quality product worth the $$$. Highly recommend.

(get the Medium Double size, which is 41x72 inches.)

Thanks for this helpful recommendation. One question - do you think that it would be too thick for the upper bunk?

?

Take care,

Barry
