Stan,
Great idea about putting a platform on the closet side. I was wondering when I would break an ankle with the little step/ditch on that side. Will be conjoling the DH to make the change.
Thanks.

We just got back from our first trip since swapping in the taller mattress.  the extra drop to the floor wasn't so much a problem for me 'cause I sleep on the closet side.  What I did notice was hitting the reading light a few times when I rolled over.  I am looking for lower profile lights.]]> Tue, 26 May 2009 00:57:47 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=6536&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#6536 Cruiser 29RKBed Height : Just spent a week in the Cougar.... http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=6410&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#6410 Author: Jimw606

Just spent a week in the Cougar. The small step I made worked very well. Never missed it once.  Bumped my head a few times on the overhead when getting into bed. Wife not too happy with making up the bed. Real tight next to the closet. She has learned to open the closet doors for extra butt space. shhhhh
Potty room a little small. but we managed.  Nice trip to Twin Knobs.  Jim

Jim, I solved this problem by building a platform the screws to the floor the length of the bed.  Actually it is for the DW on her side between the bed and closet but the idea will work for your side as well.  Just be carefull not to cover any heat vents in the floor.  The step I made was about 4" tall and about 5' long.  I bought some cheap carpeting the same at the 5er (Wink) and nailed the carpet to the platform.  Much easier for her to get into bed.]]> Sat, 16 May 2009 23:40:56 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=6228&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#6228 Cruiser 29RKBed Height : We have the 29rk, we added a 2... http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=6226&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#6226 Author: mosledder

We have the 29rk, we added a 2 1/2 " mattress topper and yea it's quite a step up, when I get out of bed I place my heal on the edge of the step and lower myself down, so far I haven't forgot. It's better than sleeping on the other side where you would have to crawl to the end of the bed or try to get out between the bed and the mirror.]]> Sat, 16 May 2009 17:14:18 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=6226&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#6226 Cruiser 29RKBed Height : Jimw606 wrote: We have put... http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=5080&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#5080 Author: riverotter55

Thanks Crisnan:  I had been giving the stool some thought.  I was thinking if I woke up and remembered the stool, that I should remember its a long step down. I should be able to work something out after a little usage.  Thanks for replying.  Jim ]]> Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:02:43 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=5019&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#5019 Cruiser 29RKBed Height : Depending on the room you should... http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=5014&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#5014 Author: Chrisnan23

Depending on the room you should be able to add a step to reduce the step up height. Just make sure it won't interfere with the slide coming in and out. I'm 5'10" and get that side inour 29rk as well. Depending on the day I sometimes want an extention ladder...Wink
 
By the way... Welcome to the forum!

Hi Jim. I am 6'2" also & the first thing we improved was the bed. We put a california queen pillow top mattress in place of the standard mattress. I had to extend the frame 9" for support & we lost the ability to use the under bed storage. The end tables/shelves still work but access is from the front. I step on the side area & have to bend over to get into bed. Enjoy.]]> Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:30:26 +0000 http://forums.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=5008&title=cruiser-29rkbed-height#5008
