    I started to learn about beds a year ago. Before I had been sleeping on whatever was in the truck, but since I'm going back to living on the highway I thought I'd get the best I could. Have a few questions about the interior fitting:

    The bottom bunk is 42" wide for the basic configuration correct? Has anyone here put a twin xl on the 42" bunk? 4" of extra unfilled space seems like a lot.

    I'll be in the raised roof with the folding top bunk which will be folded up. How tall of a mattress can I really put in there? Looking at a 14" model.

    How much storage space would I lose by having trouble lifting the bed tray? Also I don't care about being able to use the little pull out shelf. I care most about sleeping as good as possible.

    TIA

    I set 2” memory foam on the factory 6” mattress which was just too rigid for me
    Memory foam much cheaper but you’d have to try it to see if it was right for you
