Thank you for doing this video. We bought a topper ... definitely helped, but a new mattress would be great. And weight up at that end of the rig is the big concern. Thanks to you we do the north / south set up too ( I'm 6'4" ). We found a local upholsterer who made a memory foam cushion that replaces the pile of pillows and cushions I would always kick off on to our pooch every night. She's soo happy. Thnx again, Mike & Lenora

Hi! Glad you found it helpful! Yes - our topper lasted about 3 years but after that - we knew a mattress was definitely on the horizon. But just couldn't reconcile adding that 85lbs to the front so we were happy to find this one. We continue to be very happy with it. And have been thinking the same for the end of the bed - we still use the pillows but would be nice not to play pillow jenga at night haha! If you ever need foam/topper - we have been using Foam Factory (foambymail.com) and have been very pleased with the quality and prices (got a topper for the house and we have done some foam work on that couch that will be an upcoming video). Thanks for watching!

Finally, someone talking about the weight of the mattress. The other company looks nice but seems so heavy but no one mentions the weight. I guess their rig can handle it but for a Geo Pro or a similar RV, weight is one of the top considerations. Thank you so much. 😁

Hi! Thanks for the watch! Well when you only have 600lbs to play with - weight is always at the top of the list! (Older models have about 500lbs less CCC). But we were also worried about tongue weight so this was the perfect fit for us. Hope you are doing well! Appreciate the support!

I made it exactly one night (actually, I gave up after about 3 hours) with the mattress that came with mine before shopping for a topper. I can honestly say that the stock mattress is the most uncomfortable one I've ever tried to sleep on, which is saying something when you consider the fact that I spent 34 years in the Army! The topper has been okay, but if I ever decide to upgrade, I'll keep this one in mind. Cody and I are getting ready for a month or so in Baja. Should be interesting. It'll be the first time I go on a trip with no reservations, and no real timetable. The plan is to cross over into Mexicali and head south down the Gulf coast all the way to Cabo and then back up the Pacific side. Should be an adventure! Tell Desi that Cody says "Woof!"

Ha! Not sure we ever tried it without a topper. But after 34 years you probably do know a good from bad mattress! And that sounds like an amazing trip. Our first cross country trip back in 2017 was the same. No real plans and no reservations - nice to not have a timetable. Can’t wait to hear how it goes. Desi says woof back to Cody! Sure he is going to have an amazing adventure! Safe travels!

Thank you :). Desi is doing well for where he is at. His vets are very happy that he is still active, eating and holding his own! And yes - the weight was the driving factor! We initially looked at some hybrid mattresses but they were just too heavy. This works as a great compromise between all our wants!

Glad you like it! I might have to look into it as we are still using the stock mattress with a topper. It's OK but I'm still pretty sore when I wake up. I see you are using the pool noodles on the shades. We use felt pads that are for furniture legs to keep them from marring your flooring. They have an adhesive back and are about a half inch in diameter and about 3/16 thick. This lets the shade sit closer to the window frame and keeps the light out while still keeping things quiet. I'm jealous that you guys are camping already! We're still 2 months away from camping here in north Iowa. Keep up the great videos!

We lived with the topper and stock for 4 years but this past year was obvious we were going to have to make a change. But we were just concerned about adding the extra weight (new models have a larger cargo carrying capacity but our 2019 only has roughly 600 lbs). Glad we found one that was an upgrade and were able to keep the weight down. Yes - that is a good tip! We actually have some on the shades that have no pool noodles attached :). We have the pool noodles on some windows for when Desi wants to run, we can grab them and slide over those sharp cabinet handles near the floor lol. But agree that the felt pads work much better! Hope you get to camping soon! (Ours ends in June when summer becomes unbearable over here!)

Great video! So nice to see Desi in almost every shot. I am very particular about every part of bedding. I now know where to go for great bedding for any application. I was already thinking about replacing the mattress in out new 2205s. And we have not even received yet.

Thank you :). And he is doing pretty well - had a not so great month in Nov but he seems to be back on track! Vets are pleased so we are just looking forward to celebrating his 11th bday in a few weeks. You know - we spend a third of our day there - that should be one of the most comfortable places! We have been using a Quickzip sheet and impressed with the design and quality of the cotton.

Hi Glen! Great question! I think we have seen where people have put a topper on the Murphy beds so might be able to get a 9” mattress on there? But not sure if there is a weight limit (just the stock mattress weighed a little less than half of this one). If you are looking for a lighter / thinner mattress - you might look at Foam Factory (www.foambymail.com). We just bought some new foam for the couch and it is a great quality and best prices we have found. They have mattress foam as well and sell covers - might be worth a look to customize. (There is a place called The Foam Factory - not the same lol).

Can you do a video on how to attach a sun shade to the awning? My Geo’s awning doesn’t seem to have a track or anything for the sun shade to slide into…
@WinesPinesandCanines

We have thought about purchasing one but haven’t yet. That is strange that you don’t have the groove - ours does. From what we have looked at, the plastic cord feeds into that groove so not sure how to attach without. Did you buy the camper new or used? Wondering if something was changed.

@@WinesPinesandCanines Huh, is the groove hard to locate..? I bought mine new in ‘21 and only tried to add the shade last summer, I thought I looked all around the awning bar but maybe I missed something, I’ll take another look as soon as I can fully extend the awning. Thanks for the reply! I’ll be watching to see if you do decide to add a shade 😁

No - so they don’t make custom sizes. But we have found a place that has nice quality foam and is reasonably priced (doing some work on our sofa). Www.foambymail.com. We have actually been using pillows from the couch and then 2 bed pillows on top and somehow have never kicked them off lol. But thinking we might get some custom foam pieces done by this foam company.

Hi! So prices change so quickly and will differ depending on what size you need so we usually recommend checking the website for current pricing instead of listing it in the video. Right now the short queen is 989$ msrp for the 9” but they typically have sales from 25 - 50% off. We bought at 35% off and this weekend they have it at 50% off.

The RV Queen Big Dawg lists at $689 on their website. But they always have some sort of sale when we look. We purchased at 35% off last year, saw it at 50% off on the holidays but right now shows 25% off. So we recommend checking for sales!
