Our travel trailer is stationary, set up forever in one spot. Our bed is awful, we’ve replaced the mattress but frankly I think the problem is that the mattress is sitting on the boxed storage compartment. I am considering removing that and putting a regular bed with a frame and box spring, providing I can find that in a queen short. Has anyone done this?

We have also found that the slide out isn’t level so we have to pull the slide out in some so we don’t feel like we are sleeping with our heads down. I can’t seem to find stabilizer slide out jacks to fit- they are all too tall for our space. I am also worried that if I use regular jacks that I will damage the slide out by lifting it. The slide outs stay out for three seasons and just go in in the winter.

Basically, we have an uncomfortable sleeping situation and I am trying to find advice on making it better.

Thanks!
