Observation about 2016.5 Thor Synergy with worn front seats

With less than 28k miles the piping/trim on my front seats (seat backs) are worn out and are pitiful to look at. I've checked with my dealer and Thor replaced the OEM Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seat covers with their own so there's no warranty to fall back on but it is sad that these seat covers are wearing out so soon when the seats on my 11-year old GMC Yukon are still going strong. I have ordered a set from Seat Covers Unlimited so we'll see how those stand up.

Regards,
Ed L's 2016 Thor Synergy TT24 3.0L

What a shame.

Yeah my 25 year old jeep still looks great inside and out. Maybe I should get seatcovered for my Axis so it lasts longer? Right now they look like new but I dont have many miles on mine. I wonder if this a common problem on your model?

I've not read about others with the Sprinter motorhomes having premature wear on the upholstery but it has been documented before on motorhomes - Thor as well as other manufacturers.

I've been looking for new seats for my 2017 Synergy 24TT since I bought the thing. I keep looking in custom seats for HDT trucks. I've tried to contact custom Sprinter shops but they don't tend to reply. I got a reply from a custom seat outfit out of Texas a year of so ago, but they didn't have what I was looking for. You would think that on a 100 grand rig you ought to be able to get heated and ventilated seats like on a 30 grand car. Go figure.

You absolutely could have had 31 way power climate controlled seats, installed before delivery...had you asked.

You can have them now at the same price.
Consider it to be a an option. Optional at any time during ownership.
