Hi folks.  Newbie owner here, doing final prep for our first overnight trek.  We are first time RV owners so some of our questions might be pretty "basic", case in point:  for the queen bed, should we invest in the shorter queen sheets or can we simply use a backup set from our house?  We realize the mattress dimensions are smaller and the mattress is much lower---what's the best way to put a cover on it?  

Also, for the table that converts into a bed, our 9 year old will be sleeping there.  Should we also have a sheet down there and actually prepare a "normal" bed or any ideas on other more flexible bed set up?  I had thought of just setting her up in a sleeping bag (perhaps on a sleeping pad on top of the cushions that convert into a bed) but she says she prefers it being "like a bed" so wondering if there are any "usual" things folks do?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Thanks for any advice!

we use regular house sheets, by the time you have them over a few inches of foam they fit nice.

lots of folks are fans of sleeping bags around here as well.

I have a 9 year old also and an Rpod 178.  I've been researching different bedding options to lay on top of the U-shaped dinnette.

I'm thinking about getting one of these Japanese Futon Mattresses:
