unfortunately they are only using what Thor specifies.
for the cab seats, I found some Ford factory covers on ebay that came from a van conversion place up there... or maybe even from Thor.
I had also found an aftermarket source that made factory replacements in the factory fabric, factory vinyl, or leather...but they cost a bit more.
www.theseatshop.com I almost went with their leather.....
I found out in my investigation that my chassis came from Ford with fabric seats.
Thor removed those fabric covers and replaced the covers with the garbage that peels.
Now, I found these new Ford vinyl covers that someone took off of a similar chassis and put them on my seats.
They look great. I had to buy a pair of hog ring pliers and learn a bit about upholstery work on youtube...but it was actually fairly easy.
I'm just about to order a sofa replacement as soon as we can settle on which one. I don't have an upholstery shop convenient to me, and I don't really like the air mattress sleeper anyway, so I figure just replacing might be easier.
Then I'll be left with the dinette back cushions which in my case are about 60% fabric and 40% peeling vinyl. I'm either going to find an upholstery shop or try my hand at taking them apart for use as templates to sew up replacements
