I know the RV beds are 'shorter' and have that darn custom size and yes it has to clear a slide for sure LOL
Good thing it was just easy to switch them back out.
My hubby broke his back and we worked a farm for 40 years and worked hard azz jobs, like his being on his feet 12 hrs a day shift work on concrete and what works for him on bad back....ain't just the bed....he uses a knee support thing that 'sets' his back in a better alignment.....they sell them at walmart....pic below, cheapy thing....
makes a world of diff. when he uses it and when he doesn't....so now it is like part of him for his sleep time since it truly cuts some of that problem when he wakes and he truly sleeps better to get a deeper sleep cause he is one to moan and groan when turning over and all that so this little contraption helps more than he care to admits.....maybe worth a $20 to try and see if it does any improvement for you? just a suggestion cause darn if backs ain't the worst!!
We got a king in our master in the rv and I know when I replace I will have to shop 'RV mattress' supply for exact size cause I know just any old king ain't gonna be the right size, the same trouble you are having on replacement.
My bed platform is a full queen, but with the rounded corners at the bottom so I don't worry too much about getting a "regular" queen mattress. I tried the knee support pillow, but it didn't work out. It was too thick and felt awkward. Plus, I toss and turn. lol I have a flat pillow that I use sometimes.
The height max I have is 11 inches. The 2nd mattress was 12 inches. The sales lady measured the mattress, but it was a pillow top and she didn't actually measure the pillow top part. I did not pay attention to that detail. (My lesson learned is to measure everything myself of course.) I was always pushing the mattress down and under the cabinet, which had to be very bad for it.
