Yes I am.

Thank you

Don't feel bad. It took me about 10 years to come up with this idea. I have never seen it suggested by anyone else. Hope it helps you out. I used to dread making the bed in the camper. Now I look forward to doing it.

Thank You. Hope this works for you.

I don't have a simple answer to your question. So I will give you a brief life history. I grew up on a farm where we raised grain and cattle. I have always been curious and as a child pestered my elders with questions about everything. I always enjoyed building and fixing things around the farm. I worked as an agricultural loan officer for over 20 years. That was not a real good fit for my personality and abilities. But the pay was decent. Personal computers came into use during my last ten years in lending work and I developed an interest in fixing them. Depression has also been a problem for me for most of my life. Because of the depression I had to leave my work in lending and was on disability for a couple of years. A telephone call center opened up near by that was providing telephone technical support for a line on personal computers. I applied there and was hired on. So I spent the last ten years of my working career doing telephone technical support. I also was in the Army for 3 years, worked as a service representative for a farm equipment manufacturer for 2 years and tried selling farm silos for 2 years. It was a varied and interesting working life. Since retiring, my wife and I have been able to travel a good bit of the USA and Canada in our travel trailer.

You are very welcome.

Thanks. Glad to help.

Please let us know how the thick cardboard works.

How did the thick cardboard work for you?

Great. Thanks.

Thanks. Hope it works for you. I struggled for years too and I am 6'2".

Thanks for the compliment.

Hope this helps you out.

That works fine if you have the room to pull the mattress down. This idea is to help in the situation where there is not enough room to pull the mattress down so that you can easily reach the head end of it.

If you make one of these out of cardboard and find that it is not stiff enough you could glue some long thin strips of wood to it. The home supply stores sell these strips quite reasonably. I believe they are called lattice strips.

Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks.
