It was just a plain old mattress topper from Amazon that I cut down. If i had to do it over again, I'd get one that didn't need to be cut and also with a cover for it. IKEA may have something.
QUESTION: I have the same RV. I get water in my basement storage while driving during rain storms. I went through and caulked between the metal and plastic part of the storage bins. It has cut down drastically the amount of water coming in, but still get a some. (Dust/dirt as well from dirty roads) Next step was to look at the door seals. Do you have this issue, Any suggestions???
Depends on the compartment. If it is the main compartment in front of the back wheel, you also need to seal the light fixture. You have to remove the light, and seal the hole where the wire comes out. I sealed it with butyl tape, and then caulked the screw holes, and also caulked the back side that faces the tire. For the seals, it should leave a good pattern on the door and when you shut the door and lock it, the door should be tight against the seal (you can check by tugging on the locked handle and see if there is play). You would have to adjust the latch at that point. I had to do that to one of my doors on the other side. And lastly, I've seen several I5's with the entire door being crooked. If you look at the door when facing it with it closed, I've seen several with the left side of the door really low. This causes the seal to not contact the door properly, and can let water in also. You would have to adjust the entire door, which is a little more tasking and need 2 people to do it. Hope that helps.
What topper did you use on front bunk looks thicker then mine

You ever think about getting a lift?
@fomocoshow yes. I've priced the liquid springs with the Buckstop kit. I change RVs to often so the cost may not be worth doing.
