Contact Bob (I think thats his name) at PUGS, he can let you know if they have those measurements. He is very good at returning phone calls!

Don't believe the floorplan drawing sizes anyway. On our Roo 23B floorplan, the front and back beds are shown to be the same size. The back bed is really about 10 inches wider than the front.

the floorplan has little to do with the size of the PUG needed. it has to do with the length and width of canvas. for example, if the front of the hybrid is tilted back(rake), the more it's tilted, the longer the canvas will be. that's why the front PUG is longer than the rear PUG, because the rear is straight up with no tilt.
some brands have more "rake" to the front of their trailers.
for example, the Starcraft hybrid has twice the amount of front "rake" as the Roo has. so the Roo front canvas isn't as long as the Starcraft. it's also why i can use the 5x7 solar blankets and not need custom-fitted ones.

You're right. That's what happens when I type before I think. The dimensions on our Roo floorplan showed the beds to be the same size when in fact, they weren't even close. I did not think about the rake which could cause the PUGs to be the same size on both ends even if the beds are different widths.

You're saying the beds in your Roo camper are different sizes? Or the tent roof is different?
