Coating peeling off seats

Among other issues, my 6 year old Sprinter has a serious problem with the 'leather' coated seating areas. Basically, it has been peeling and cracking off for a few years now, and it's at the point where you can't even sit on anything without a sheet or towel or something, because when you get up a whole bunch of flecks and bits of the coating stick to you. This applies to the couch, booth-area cushions, and the fold out couch/bed in the back room under the fold-down bunk bed. The layer below the fake-leather is mostly exposed now, and the fuzzy insulation beneath is starting to ball up and shed as well. Is this an isolated situation, or has Keystone addressed or fixed it in any way?
  • What you're experiencing is the result of Cheap China fake leather seating that's in most RV's. Thomas Payne is well known for peeling pleather seating. Most RV furniture that's in mid priced RV's is not meant to last for years like the furniture you buy in a nicer furniture store.
    Best thing to do is throw it in the garbage and buy something of quality.
