The "fabric" is latex sprayed on a cloth backing and does not last. We considered ripping the furniture all out and starting with new furniture. Our concern was getting a good fit. Instead we hired a guy who does classic car and boat interior restorations. He had only done a few RVs before but did a fine job for us. We did both captain chairs, the recliner, couch and dinette. We chose two cloth fabrics with excellent color match to the walls and floor. Cost about $3500 total, not cheap but good result. You may want to consider replacing with new furniture if you are confident about the fit.

It wasn’t just 2013-2016. It continued with some flexsteel seats right up until they pulled out of the RV market in 2020. Not all though. My 2016 Fleetwood never had a problem but my 2019 Newmar was peeling in fewer than 6000 miles. It’s a problem that should never have occurred.
