[Rhodes22-list] sheet size

[Mary Lou Troy]

We sleep in the cabin because we can keep the bugs out.

We have a bedroll we made from two fleece blankets and two brushed 
cotton flat sheets. I think they are doubles but the blankets are 
about 60" wide and the sheets are 70" wide. We sewed the foot of the 
fleece blankets together and separately sewed the foot of  the fleece 
blankets together. Put some snaps (actually snap tape) at the foot of 
each so we could snap sheets and blankets together, This allows us to 
quickly and easily make the bed up at night and roll it up in the 
morning. The whole thing rolls up and stores in a duffel but it's 
easy to get them apart for washing. Very comfy. On a warm night, you 
can put both layers of fleece underneath and on a cold night you 
could put both blanket layers over you although we prefer to carry an 
extra fleece blanket.

BTW - We use a swing out hinged leg to support the bow end of the 
middle piece of the cabin berth so we can still get to the 
porta-potti. We have the semi-enclosed head. Originally the middle 
piece of the cabin berth was supported by the forward piece which is 
also the hinged piece that gives access to the head. The hinged 
support for the berth is an arm that swings out from the support for 
the setee. It has a leg that folds down and the forward end of the 
table which is the middle section of the cabin berth rests on it.

Best,
Mary Lou
