Making u shape dinette hole when made into bed

When I make dinette the cushions do not cover the bed space. Are there cushions that fix the problem?

Making the dinette into a bed in my TT is extremely frustrating too.

It takes some creativity using the cushions as well as back rests in order to make a full size bed. It's further complicated with where one cushion ends and another begins when that spot also happens to correspond with where your butt rests while lying down. This requires placing the varying width cushions just right so a a large cushion is under one's rump while lying down and as we're all aware, different height people have different rump locations.


I did see one couple with a smaller trailer that had a topper made that rolled up during the day and when the bed was made up the topper just rolled out and provided some bridging at the cushion junctions.

My Son, who is 6' 4" tall found this issue on our first trip together. Now I just let him make up the bed using any combination of cushions he wants. If he complains I'll just bring a tent for him next time.

Make sure you have all the cushions you need. Besides the cushions that are in the dinette, you should have one extra cushion not used in the dinette daily. It is about 26” x 8” x 8”. It’s only purpose is to fill out the bed correctly. Mine was missing at delivery. Dealer ordered and FR shipped directly to me. Thanks rch
