My '75 Palm Beach has the rear dinette that converts to a bed. Does anyone have the dimensions of the back area when it's converted to the bed? I have a strange sized mattress from an oversized hospital bed that might fit, but I don't have my coach at home to check on the dimensions.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The permanent bed that I'm building in the back is 54"x80", if that helps.

Thanks in advance for your help. The dinette converts to a standard double bed. 54" wide and 74" long. The seats are 48" wide, the 6" bolster makes it 54". Each seat, when folded down is 37", two if which makes 74". My '73 has a "clothes hamper" built over the propane compartment. If that is removed, it would make room for what is called a "double XL" which, as a previous post mentioned, is 54" wide by 80" long. The space might be a little longer, but the double and double XL are the sizes of sheet sets that are common.

George,
What I did was to take my coach to a local mattress factory, and had them take the measurements. There is a bit of custom cut in the very rear to fit it between the tail lights so you don't roll into the void. just a couple of inches, but it does make a difference.
These new foam mattresses are very comfortable, around $500.
Good luck! Scott

R U a member of a GMC Motorhome club? If not, the GMC 6 Wheelers would like to invite you to join us.
Our area is a 200 mile radius from Chicago and we do 6 rallies per year (May thru Oct) and usually the third weekend of the month.
We are a smaller GMC club than most and are pretty laid back - we have two business meetings per year and they are held during our rallies (usually May and Oct).
Let me know if you are interested.
