Mini lite 2306 sheet size

Locchamp · 05-04-2016, 06:57 PM

Hello everyone I am new to campers I am still waiting for my mini lite 2306 it should have been in by now but the dealer said it will take another 7 to 10 days to arrive which puts me to prob the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. I have my first trip Memorial Day weekend so This doesn't give me much time to buy stuff and learn how toe it etc I'm a little disappointed. That being said can anyone tell me what sheet sizes I would need for the bunks and what would I need for the bigger bed it is soopose to be queen size would queen size sheets work?

The RV queen is only 60 x 74 inches. Regular queen sheets don't fit properly.
If you or your significant other is 5' 11" like me, get yourself a mattress extender.
Then regular queen sheets fit and your feet don't hang out the end of the bed. Camping world sells them.

I am 6 2 so yah I guess that will be a problem, so where do I get this mattress extender what is it? What about the bunks?

Thanks

Bought ours at Camping World. It was located in the bedding isle.
It is a 6" filler the thickness of the mattress. We put it at the head of the bed and it is held in place by the fitted sheet. During the day we flip it up and slide the mattress forward for more walking room.

So anyone know what sheets to get for bunks?

We have a 2306 and just use twin bed sheets on the bunks, because that's what our girls use at home. We tuck them under the mattress, as I believe it's only 26 inches wide. Any narrow bottom sheet will do, because you can just tuck any excess under the mattress, as the mattress fits very tight into the bunk.

Thanks for the information as far as storage do you guys know of tote sizes that would fit in various places that you guys have used?

ontario_camper · 05-05-2016, 06:45 AM

These are what our girls use under the bunks for some clothes. I can't help with tote size for the front pass thru, as we don't store the trailer at home.

For your first couple of trips you could use sleeping bags or sheets you have. You may want a mattress topper and need sheets for thicker mattress. I wouldn't buy any thing until the trailer is home and you can check out the comfort and measure for fit.

I have a 2014 2306 . the big bed is a regular size queen mattress , we did not get the murphy bed . We also use regular twin size sheets on the bunks and just tuck the extra down the back side .

I would strongly recommend getting a memory foam topper for the queen size bed . We got one that is only 1.5 inches thick and the bed sleeps as good as our tempurpedic in the big house .

Totally agree that you'll need toppers for all the beds. We have a 4" topper on the queen bed, and 2" toppers on the twin beds.

Just bought a 2016 Coachmen Clipper 17BH and the bunk size is 28' x 74", sheets available on Amazon and some RV supply sites. They are pricey, however.

Just got ours at Walmart. You can get them most anywhere.

stellaandspike · 05-06-2016, 09:45 AM

Are you talking sheets or toppers?

rockfordroo · 05-06-2016, 04:53 PM

Toppers. Ours is a 2" from Walmart. Get a queen and cut it to size.

Skip the toppers & go straight to a decent mattress ... tempur-pedic style short queen from Overstock .com cheap (& comfy)

We picked up our 2306 a few weeks ago. We do not have the murphy bed option and regular size queen sheets fit fine on our big bed. They are a little loose just because the mattress is not as thick as a normal mattress. Some have said you need a mattress topper, but our mattress is heated and if you are cool weather camping, the topper will probably not allow the heat through.

As for the little bunks, we found some sheets made for close to that size on Amazon...

They are a little pricey, so for now we are just using the kids old twin bed sheets and stuffing them under the mattress which works fine...

We did the same thing. Kids are so careless that paying top dollars for sheets is not worth it. Is a bit hard to use a twin sheet but is not a show stopper.

2013 2306 here and 100% agree.

Topper for the bed makes all the difference.
