These sheets are 100% worth the price point, IMO.  We put a small sharpie indicator on each sheet "PORT" or "STBD" so we can get them to the correct side quicker, FYI.

I was going to do that as well, based on a history with boats. I can NOT get Street and Curb straight in my head! I think Driver and Passenger from off-roading. I ended up putting C and S on the tags, but in my mind, it stands for "Camping side" and Sewer side" 🤣

Here is the video I made last year about the AB Lifestyle sheets.
Since making this video I have tried Beddy’s on the twins but didn’t care for the bulkiness/fit of them so I went back to the Lifestyle sheets. They have held up very well with repeated washes, no pilling and actually get softer with every wash.

We’ve been using the AB Lifestyles Oliver sheets for 5 or 6 years now.  They have held up very well.  They do get softer the more we wash them.  We consider it a good investment.  Mike

Great to know they are holding up that long.👍🏼

They are $139 for a pair.  You only need one set/pair. One set includes sheets for both the left and right bed. 

I'd say that's a pretty good deal for quality fabric, and custom sizing.

Growing up, my family camped a lot.  Many times near the end of the trip, if I had used and soiled all my T-shirts, my Mom would have me wear them inside out.  She figured it looked better to the bears.  When we are nowhere near a washing machine, I have to admit thinking about that experience and our sheets.  Turn them inside out and swap sets, and it looks like clean sheets for all.

Fortunately, my better half overruled the thought pretty quickly.  However, it would be easy to put another set of tags on the back side of the sheet if one was "Sheet Side Dyslectic"!   🙂

Been there, done that, just letting them "air out"  and overnight "dew wash" or at least "dew rinse" on lifelines, on sailing trips. 

If we camped in poison ivy country, I'd be afraid of turning any  clothing inside out. (But then, we all drank from the garden hose, in those days, too, and we lived to tell the tale, right?) 😅😅😅

Drinking from the water hose…those were the days!

And, running thru the lawn sprinklers, on hot summer days, right? (We took a few sips there, too.)

Thanks for the memories. 

And, apologies for the thread drift.

I never get tired reminiscing about the good old days, I miss them.

Riding in the back of the pick-up truck everywhere we went is another one of those fond memories.  Did I mention a 12 GA shotgun and 30-06 hanging on the rifle rack behind Grand Pa's head?  Never know when dinner would present itself to the Country Boy. 

Grand Pa could hide anything in his stew.  Possum, deer, every kind of fish, polecat, mountain lion, armadillo, squirrel, duck, and once rattler snake!  He used to say "If you don't like it, you just aren't hungry enough yet.  Bet you'll give it a try in the morning!"  And we all survived.  

Swimming in the Trinity River down stream of Liberty all summer long.  Making a rope tire swing and learning how not to tie the knots. That one hurt.  Running trot lines with over 100 #3 stainless steel hooks.  Mixing up blood and Ivory Soap to make catfish blood bait.  Window sash weights every 30 feet on the line to make sure it stayed below the flowing logs.  Getting hooked, pulled out of the boat, and taken down 20 feet to the bottom ... and surviving.  Even falling into the outhouse as a 3 year old.  Survived that too.  

If it was broke, we fixed it.  If it was worn out, we took it apart to salvage parts for the next project of creative invention.  Nothing went to waste.

Those type of experiences are what made our generation so great.  Sadly, now days the vast majority of kids don't get a chance to live and experience success and failure in life like we were fortunate to have done.

That sh#t happened,  unfortunately,  for many of us, back in the day. And even I f we didn't fall, we were scared, as little kids, by the big drop.

I read an article the other day about how failures and errors make us stronger, and why parents today should let their kids fail, and learn. I guess our parents knew that, all along. 

"Riding in the back of a pickup truck?" Loved it. 

More great memories.

I agree. We learn more from our failures then our successes.

The graphics are from Roommates, purchased on Amazon. They are decals that go on and off very easily leaving no residue. I used them in my previous camper as well. They work great on the fiberglass walls. 

Looking at Roomates on Amazon, I don't see an option like yours:

Can you provide more details about how you got your graphics
