Upholstery changes in Class C

Just had the faux "leatherette" driver and passenger seat and pullout sofa bed upholstery replaced on our "new to us" 2010 Fourwinds 31R. The work was very nicely done by DiCarlo Upholstery of Hull MA (Eddie Nascimento).

The OE upholstery was what Thor laughingly refers to as "Leatherette," which is some kind of processed, ground-down and softened vinyl. It had been badly worn through and frayed in 22,000 miles/four years of previous ownership. The rest of the coach was like it just left the dealership. The previous owners must have worn sandpaper jeans and/or were actively overweight

Eddie and wife removed the two seats and the upholstered parts of the sofa and did the work in their shop. We are very pleased with the results.

    WOW. My 8 year old Jayce with 70000 miles still looks new. I guess there are differences between manufacturers.
  • I'll try to upload some before/afters. The material was a nice automotive vinyl, and they made a beautiful color match, with Dacron under wrap. The cost was $1,072.
