Arm rests

I have a 2017 Thor Miramar. One of my arm rests on one of the captain chairs is showing its age. Can you recommend a company that makes arm rests covers for motor homes?

Thank you

Any Jr level seamstress.
Or

Is how my mom's generation made quick covers for everything from tea-cozy to Freightliner.

i have A 2017 and the entire seat looks worn, so I got them both recovered. well worth it, about 1000$ each. southern California has some of the best reupholstering places I have ever seen, and I found a great one in Victorville area. seek and you shall find. I'd send you a pict but not available at this time.

New seats are cheaper, and of better quality.

I replaced my seats with a pair from shop4seats, they were a lot less expensive than your recover and far superior in looks and comfort.

Rather a bold statement as you have not seen my "recover", let alone sat in them. I respect you, your opinion, which you are entitled to. My opinion happens to differ from yours, and that's what makes the world go around.
I did look on shop4seats, didn't see anything I would rather have in place of what I have. Again, just my opinion. happy trails Sir.

here is a simple pict, before and after. the guy took a month to rebuild and cover the 2 seats. in my opinion, money well spent.

If you contact Thor, they can connect you with the vendor that made it and get an exact duplicate with the same or very similar material

An exact same of the known failure is not a good plan.
