Is there room in my bed?

I'm looking to get a new (to me) PUP, but I really want to make sure the new big bed is the same size as what I have now.  When I bought the camper I was told I had queen and full size beds, and believed them until my friend set two twin air mattresses next to each other on the big bed, it took me a night to realize it couldn't be a queen.  :doh:

Now I don't trust anyone's word to tell me it's a queen or king size bed. Are there set dimensions?  For example, one camper's owner says the bed is a queen size, the internet looks like (a later model) 70"x79", and someone else refers to their kind as 77x70.  I need to strech out when I sleep, and I think I'd regret getting something smaller than what I have now.

If it matters, I have a starcraft, and one that I'm looking at is a jayco.

A normal home queen bed is 60"x 80 and a king is 76" x 80". Because of the of trailer box widths, the 80" is really 76"or 77". It is very common for a queen in a popup to be 60 x 76 and a king to be 76 x 76.

2 twin air mattresses would not fit on a queen normally as twin x 39 x 76, so 2 of them is wider than a king anyway.

I have the odd sized beds in my narrow width hybrid.    My wife and I are 5ft 8 and do not have problems on the beds.

In our Flagstaff 207, the beds were supposedly 60x80 Queen and 48x 80 Double, never really measured them, but they fit myself who is 6' and my wife, 5' 9". As Phil says, they are not true Queens.

As kitphantom says. The RV industry uses different size dimensions than does regular "house" type beds.
Every RV bed will be "in between" the size advertised and the next size down.

meaning if the RV is supposed to have a Queen bed. If you go to Wally (or any retailer) and buy queen sheets-they will be too big for your RV bed. If you buy full size sheets-they will be too little.

Both my old camper and new one has 77"x70" beds.  Can't ever find sheets for them.
