Re: [SilverStreak] mattresses



The mattresses in our '79 SS Supreme Saturn are a little narrower (34") than a standard 
"twin" size (39" x 75") for the home. I think this is called a "bunk" size. Older large 
RVs are under 8' (96") wide while many newer ones are almost 8 1/2' (102") wide. As walls 
are 2" or so thick, older RV interiors are under 7'-8" (92") wide, so a center bedroom 
with RV bunk mattresses has close to a 24" center aisle. If standard twin mattresses had 
been used the center aisle would have been no more than 14" wide! 
I think I might measure my Streak's center aisle 2morrow so my vast repository of almostly 
useless knowledge will be a little vaster (look that one up in your Oxford).
