Making bed

How does everyone make the king size bed in the fr3 30 foot. 2016. You can't get on the one side of the bed. Maybe I'm missing something

You latch the bathroom door open to close off the bedroom and you no longer can see the bed.

Out of sight out of mind.

getting the mattress pad and sheet over the mattress is a pain (start at the headboard), the rest is not as bad, just toss the sheet and blanket in the back headboard corner and be done with it!

I agree with starting at the top to put on the sheets, but we also slide the entire mattress down and tip it up so that we can put on the top of the fitted sheets comfortably. We then slide the mattress back up and easily put on the bottom of the fitted sheets from the bottom of the bed.

We make our bed every day. We have a couple of tips for that. We do not put blankets on the bed during the day. We made a great tool to use in making the sheets lay flat and look good. We attached a window squeegee to a dowel and use it to move the sheets into position and then to smooth the sheets. We fold our blankets and lay them on the bottom of the made up bed and just spread them out when we retire. This is quick and easy and works for us, allowing us to enjoy the view out the rear window as we are parked during the day.

USE Suspender to hold sheet on while bed slide is in.

Example:

We bought a pair of regular suspenders until Amazon order could come in. It keeps the fitted sheet on even when bed is folded up with slide in. :thumbsup

>This is where you would use the suspenders to hold the fitted sheet on the bed while it is in the up position for driving. When you fold the bed down, fitted sheet is tight.

Photo will be posted after FR328DS is back from shop. (I will post a new thread on the repair.)

Good suggestion. The wife is always fussing about the bed making in our trailer (can't get up to the headboard). With help from me, it should be fine now!
