Rtt bedding

[nucktaco]

We just purchased our first rtt. (Wild coast big sky) and are a couple weeks away from our first trip with it (baja).

So far we have really like it but are having trouble figuring out bedding. The sleeping footprint is 76x96 inches. This gives us a fair bit of room but unfortunately we haven't been able to find any sheets that fit that size. What's everyone using besides sleeping bags?

Any good online stores? i contacted wild coast and the owners wife sewed a custom fit one for theirs and my sewing skills are pretty much non existent so I'll have to rule that out.

Thanks for any advice.

Tepee has fitted sheets, maybe one of their tents uses the same layout as the Big Sky. I have a Mammoth Teton Sleeping bag and love it. I keep it in the tent full time.

Sounds like we might have the same tent. For the first year we were just using a larger flat sheet and tucking it under since it was JUST big enough to cover the entire mattress. That became frustrating though and we just added some material to the bottom and turned it into a custom fitted sheet. Looking forward to trying it next weekend. If ours works out I could talk to the wife and see if she would be interested in making you one.

Here are the online tutorials we used to help us out...

Awesome thanks a lot for that ! I think we will try the top sheet idea for this trip and see how it works. turns out my moms friend can sew but it out of town for a month so I'll get her to sew into a custom fitted sheet after. Thanks for the offer though:sombrero:
