Way back before the board was hijacked there was a thread on this issue. (Check out the original "Legacy Post" on this topic.)
I'm bringing it back up again since I'm trying to put together a table of bed dimensions for the various common eggs. The topic comes up periodically and I'm hoping we can put something together people will find useful.
Anyway - The info I'm looking for is the bed dimensions: width (shoulder to shoulder - measured from the wall to the furthest edge of the bed) and length (head to toe - measured wall to wall). I know that for most eggs these will vary depending on exactly where you measure, but if we standardize on the MAX of each dimension - at least we know where we stand.
My recollection is that Boler's, Scamps and Casita 13/16's have 48" wide beds, and that Scamp dlx's and Casita 17's have 54" wide beds. I don't recall the width of the Liberty and don't know the length of any of them.
I'll post the assembled info as soon it's combined and I figure out how best to post it.
Thanks
Mike
Scamps are 44"X 78" on the standard with an option on the deluxe at 54"X78" all models.
I measured my Escape 17B with 5 Cu Ft Fridge - Rear bed - 48" X 77", Front bed - 30" X 76".
Check with the factory for their official bed sizes on all their models: Escape Specifications
2013 Lil Snoozy:
Mattress is 60 inches wide and 76 inches long.
About a 2 inch gap at both ends. Bigger gap at
side of bed but I didn't measure it. Wife puts a
couple of pillows there at night.
Some have mentioned bedding materials. I use an RV light sleeping bag with a removeable sheet zippered in. I can't find them anymore and would like to get another one. Camping World doesn't carry them anymore, is there another dealer to check?
Yep, Travasak is the item. I've searched through the internet and they are pricey. I think the larger sleeping bag would be half their price.
Thanks for the information Gilda.
I just wanted to add the 13' Scamp can be ordered with a full size bed in the fiberglass version. I'm sure the 16' will probably have a full size bed soon.

I am looking for confirmation or denial that the early (say 1983) Bigfoot 17' trailers have a wider rear bed (gaucho bed) than the slightly later (say 1992) models.
My preliminary research seems to show this, but I've not confirmed with a measuring tape, and would love some realy world insight.

Ian,
I don't know if this helps but my 1989 Bigfoot B17G has the following bunk sizes:
Dinette bed: appx 43 x 79 inches
Gaucho: 42 x 76 inches
Upper bunk (above the Gaucho): 35 x 72 inches.

There are no plans in the works quite yet.
The 16 has more configurations,all of which would require some new molds. The side dinnette would require even more thought... Plus... the 16 and the 5er share many components while the 5er really doesn't need the mod.
But... who knows, it might happen.
The Deluxe is still the best way to go and the base price difference is greatly mitigated by package content vis-a-vis the standard.
Ian,
My 1980 Bigfoot 15B17G has a gaucho bed that is 46" wide and 78" long. The later model's bed may be smaller due to an enlarged bathroom. The short side of the gaucho shares a wall with the bath in ours. Later models have the gaucho sharing a wall with the closet.

I would be interested in seeing the interior modifications Scamp made to accommodate a full 54" wide bed in the Scamp 13'. It would have to have either a smaller kitchen and closet, or the kitchen moved forward and the closet smaller to accommodate a bed 8"-10" wider than their standard one.
It's easy for Scamp to fit a wider bed. Our 16 has counters on both sides and if the counters are shortened there's plenty of room for a additional foot of width and still room for the stove, sink and fridge in the Scamp 16 without sacrificing the bath.
