Covers for Failing Leatherette?

Just noticed the finish on our leatherette sofa is starting to fail. Little bits pealing away....
I've seen others post of this failure before here.

I called Thor, and of course got the take it to a dealer. I knew it wouldn't be in warranty and just wondered how much a replacement cover would cost me.....

So I found out who makes the stuff and called them. It's clear that the vinyl stuff is cheapo, and they know it. They said they are bound to provide what Thor spec's. I was told the fabric would likely hold up longer, and the vinyl is probably only good for 3-4 years. yep, seems about right.

The good news is that the pattern is still made
the bad news is that it's only available in the spec'd fabrics. Nothing better.

So, I guess I'll get a price just for grins from the dealer the next time I'm in.
But I can't imagine paying big money for poor materials again

so i'm wondering
has anyone here found a source for a good slip over cover for the Class C driver and passenger seat
and the sofa?
