Flaking furniture

Hello happy campers. I have a 2016 25.2 Vegas. Couch is crumbling as I write this. Has anyone replaced their couch. If so what did you get as a replacement. Thank you, Chuck

Yes, many people have replaced their flaking furniture, including couches. Besides RV stores like Camping World there are online retailers like https://shop4seats.com/. We actually bought our dual reclining loveseat from Overstock.com.

Thank you for your response. I would love to replace the couch with a set of recliners. The 2016 Thor Vegas 25.2 has the fresh water tank under the couch. So it looks like there would be an issue with the base mounts of recliners.

Flaking Furniture Cure

Take to a Marine Upholster they use better materials and can recover all. Two Driver/Pax seats plus cushions for table approx less than 1,000.00.

We were similarly not happy with our couch. We shopped Camping World and RecPro but ultimately chose the Lambright theater seating product from Bradd and Hall in Elkhart, IN. Very pleased with the quality of the product.

Since the frame on my sofa was fine I had mine reupholstered with high quality automotive upholstery material. Better than new with color and quality, cost me $750.

Furniture replacement

Just had a full furniture replacement in 2017 Hurricane. Worked with Bradd and Hall in Elkhart IN. They are amazing to work with, know their business and operate professionally. The final install on our coach looks and feels like it was custom made for the coach and the ultra leather is tested for 15+ year wear. Super happy with the outcome. It is not an inexpensive option but it is a quality product and a professional company that can help solve problems.

Ours started flaking this past week. Tons of threads/posts about it but...bottom line...just replace everything with what you research here from the search feature.

RECPRO IS GARBAGE!

Replaced couch 3 years ago and this piece of S__T is peeling just like the garbage front captains chairs. NEVER AGAIN!

Buy genuine leather or cloth...neither have been successfully duplicated.
