    Thank you for the memory. That there is a super 500 if I am not mistaken. Sleepers were add on options in the day. Loved the old spoke and bolt wheels too. The tire and rim comes right off of there.

    I bought a twin mattress for my 2011 Prostar Premium. Fit great on the lower bunk. Not sure what size to get for the top (team).

    Both should be the same, however the top might be somewhat smaller. Check it and see. Run a measuring tape diagonally corner to another corner of that top one and then see if it matches the same on the bottom, if so, then that size is what you buy for the top.

    Sounds great. I'll just have to buy a thinner one and put a foam cover over it. By buying thinner, I can roll it up to get it on the top bunk. When I get back to the truck I'll measure.
