I was searching through the thread to find what people were using for round tube and found this, so thanks. Did some looking and found these on McMaster carr since the ones on Amazon were like $10 a piece for stainless steel. Just wanted to share with the group.

Eating my words here from an earlier post. Never thought I’d sleep on a air mattress again. My 77x30 came in and could not be more impressed with this thing. Been inflated going on 72 hours here at home. I fell asleep on it watching football with my son yesterday. Son slept on it last night in his room. Zero pressure loss and still firm like I like it.

I did get impatient with the “self inflation” and pumped it up in about 25/35 pumps on the whoopy Cushion pump they send.

Real world test coming soon on our next adventure. I’m sure it will perform as it did here at home. Highly recommend.

Almost 1 week this thing has been inflated and has lost no air. I can put full force of my knee on the thing as I lay down and do not bottom out on the floor. I've never seen an air mattress like this in all my years on this tiny planet. Thanks to the recommendation! Saving up for another one for my son since he won't be sleeping on this one when we camp. Dis be mine!

This post barely belongs here but thought I’d share anyways to help spark ideas for others. Seeing as these beds have a tendency to spread with weight on the rails, I wanted to tie the rearward bar into the frame (bed bolts). This doesn’t take up anymore bed space and I have no doubt this will prevent the bed rails from spreading outward.

How do y’all manage using an annex with a tent mounted to a bed rack/not the “full” height?

My tent is roughly the same height over the trailer deck as a bed mounted tent would be from the ground.
