RV Decor Redo

After buying a camper we found out the sofa was smelly from previous person owning a cat, smelt like it lived and died on the sofa, so out it came, stripped everything off it, was going to sell but decided to try redoing it from scratch, foam and all. So far so good, waiting on the faux leather fabric to come.
Started out changing the booth, painting the walls, getting rid of the dated wall cornices and blinds. Only thing we haven't touched yet is the floor. hmmmm . Quite proud of the results

I have been wanting to recover my sofa and dinette but I am NOT handy that way. Give me a hammer, nails, saw, I'm great. Needle, thread, sewing machine, thats where I'll lose fingers.
My sofa folds down, can't remember what kind of sofa, but the cushions are attached. Did you have to remove the whole sofa from the TT to work on it? If not, how did you remove the old material?


A quick way to do "covers" for cushions/pillows is to actually to a pillow case with an "overlap" (make one side bigger) then sow on Velcro, voila, a cover that won't slip off and works easier then trying to do zippers or sewing jobs from heck. That hasn't been done yet in mine but we're planning to do just this maybe this summer, material is costly so having to find a good strudy "sit on" material is something thats not always easy.

We also painted one wall to get rid of the horrible stripped material that was on the wall, we only painted over it, didn't bother to rip it donw'off. It worked.

Yes I removed the whole sofa, frame and all, stripped the sofa down to the bare metal, bought 2 very large almost like extra long foam mattresses, only needed one, so trying to sell the other cheap, I can add photo's of the product so far but have no idea how to upload them here

Didn't happen unless you post pics! 🙂

Actually very interested in the finished product as we have changes in mind also.
