The factory did a terrible job of installing the...

Boy, you're going to have to rebuilt that roof yourself. You'll likely not find another roof new or used. If you hire someone to fix it, labor will likely cost you more than a new camper.

That's...

I have had travel trailers and pop ups. Pops are easier to find sheets for but being a mattress is only 4" thick, you still have to tuck a lot.

For a 48" wide, just get a full size sheet, 60"...
