Question Z-1 252bh

Hi again, just took our new camper out this weekend for the 1st time. All was pretty good except for the bed. It was hard and now have a back ache. What would you recommend to fix this problem short of replacing it and getting a real mattress? Also was not crazy of the shower head. Does not seem to stay in place. Any suggestions ? Thanks for any input!!

We replaced ours with home mattress (from Sam's club as they will sell the mattress by itself) and it was the best move we made! When we traded for our cruiser aire we moved the 2 year old mattress into it. Pillow top and as comfortable as home!

We just installed a oxygenics shower head and it is fantastic - lots of pressure.

I just put a 2" foam topper on mine and works fine . But if you go this way, lay the topper outside for a week to off vent the smell.

I should have warned you about that.

For the last couple years we put our old camping foam rolls under the cheap mattress. This year we upgraded to a foam mattress from Amazon. Don't bother with getting a short queen. They will want to charge you an extra $50 for a special mattress when you can just spend 5 minutes to trim down the regular queen.

Most mattress stores have 1 onlys. You probably could find just a mattress for a good price there.

I agree totally with the suggestions. We put a 3 inch memory foam topper from Walmart on our bed and it's super comfy. And the Oxygenetics shower head is MUST! It's cheap and makes a helluva difference. We even got one for our house!
