Hi Alan, We bought a couple of Coleman bags that are indeed too wide and a bit too long. I consider this a plus actually. If you put two bodies in a double bag that's only 47" wide the height of your bodies shrinks the useable width. Get the oversize bags and enjoy the full size of the Westy bed. Nothing wrong with being extra close to your sleeping partner of course, but it should be out of desire, not necessity. (more room for thrashing about too, come to think of it). Cheers, Doug '84 Westy Toronto, Canada >I have been looking for a double rectangular sleeping bag (or >better - two zipped together, that is a good fit for the 72"x47" lower bed >in our '87 Westfalia.
