hello from Texas...

[hippie-hiker]

Hello all, I have been visiting this site for awhile. My hubby and I have been lookin for a TT. We finally found one on ebay for really next to nothing....1,100. I was so very shocked b/c I had been searching expecting to buy one for a few thousand. We picked it up and it is EXACTLY what we wanted!

OK....I have my first question where can we buy the foam for the bed? We can't put a matress in b/c well the back dose open with a kitchen but, you can't get in the trailer from there. Hoping for some helpful hints!

Looking forward to visiting with ya'll.

Hey Hippie-

Welcome to the forum! I'm a newbie, too, and also from San Antonio! Congrats on the great find! I'm going to build ours, so we won't be out camping for a while. Hopefully not too long!

I know a lot of folks get a foam mattress from Wal-Mart - has memory foam on top or something. Some just do pieces of foam from Joann's Fabrics. Lots of choices!

Glad you're here!

Welcome aboard!

We got our foam mattress from IKEA but there isn't one in San Antonio

Welcome to the forum.

I got a full size 4 inch mattress topper with memory foam from Wal-Mart and cut it down to size. I bought a custom size cover from Knox Foam, but hey have recently closed their doors, so you might have to make one yourself, or find a seamstress or boat upholstery person.

Congratulations on your purchase.

I bought an 8 inch Wal-mart, good but way too much

I really thought about the Ikea http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60143280

inexpensive, I'd get it next time

to the playground Hippy-Hiker. I got my foam at an outlet but Walmart has some great stuff. You might also check around for an upholstery shop to see if there is something you like.

A hint---open the shrink wrap inside. Now all you need is cause we have a need to fill and you really will want lots many years down the road.

Welcome
I'm probably going to jinx myself here and maybe draw a few groans but...
We have been sleeping on a $30 Coleman air bed in our TT for 4 years. No problem and more comfortable than our high dollar Sleep Number bed at home. They might not be good for a TD where you have to crawl in but work well in a TT. I do have a spare one on board..... just in case.
