Ok so a follow up with the 8 inch camping world mattress on the top bunk of my 176 it did make me feel close to the roof though the comfort far out weighs the previous option. I also saw that IKEA also had a mattress that would fit better as it wasn't as tall and was the correct width. Wish the mattress was 2 inches narrower. Will keep it though and use it.

It replaces it. Our old mattress was 6" thick and weighted about 20 pounds. The new one is 8' thick and weighs over 50 lbs. A huge difference is quality. However, I guess they both could be used, but we felt no reason for that after sleeping on it. We only used the foam pad because we already had it and it was cut to size.

I think a roll up topper is my only option,...we have a 4 year old,..and if weather is cool or wet I see her having breakfast in the pod. So i'll need a quick convenient way to break down the bed. Thanks to all for the input. Keep it coming. Camping season is almost here!

Does the mattress in a box go on top of the stock mattress or replace it?

We just spent the weekend sleeping on our new Eurotop mattress from Camping World. We also had a 2 inch foam topper we put over the mattress. That was left over from trying to make the stock mattress sleep-able. Both Adeliza and I think it was a fantastic improvement over stock. If one plans to sleep there more than a couple nights a year, it is a good investment, in our opinion.

Ok FYI I purchased the bunk mattress from camping world for my 176 and it is technically too wide. I knew as soon as I took it from the box. I chose to use anyway it only hangs over slightly. I love it.

We, too, use a mattress topper and always roll it up and keep it on the top bunk (along with the dog's stuff) so we can use the dinette. It fits well if you roll it up on the shorter axis, not the longer one.

We leave the table down all the time, but whenever we take the trailer in for service they will put the mattress topper and place it on the top bunk. It may not roll up as well as you like, but it's doable.

Thanks Tim,...I need it to be compact enough to roll up and store on the top bunk if we need dinette during the day. so hoping something like that would be the answer.

Leonlewt, we use a memory foam topper, and it works out well. You will probably find it to be more comfortable than sleeping on the cushions.
