New furniture: RecPro or ??

gearhead · 07-03-2022, 09:03 AM

My "leather" furniture has the dreaded peeling. Looking to replace it. I've looked online at RecPro. Probably go with cloth covering.
Anyone have any other ideas?

I don't know that I have any other ideas. I think replacement or covering are about the only options. When it started in our last trailer we tried various things and ended up with covers that fit pretty well. DW had to do some alterations to keep them tight using elastic bed sheet tighteners as I recall. Prior to that my choice to replace them was with something from RecPro. Probably some other choices out there for furniture but I don't recall all the places I looked at. In the end a new trailer fixed it and so far (knock on wood) the new "pleather" formula seems to be holding up much better than the old stuff. Good luck in the search.

I would measure what you want to replace and look at furniture in a furniture store or Lazy Boy, or online at Wayfair. RV furniture is overpriced in my opinion. Just check that the chair/sofa has removable backs which many do these days.

The ol' Thomas Paine shedding its skin bwhahahaha. Half the campers you see for sale more than a few years old show this issue. You don't need RV furniture. I suggest that most ANY chairs or couches you buy online and have delivered will have backs that pull out of tracks on the back and are easy to get through an RV door. We had a LazyBoy leather recliner lover seat in our humble camper and the missus bought a new couch with no arm for our living room (our dog Presley is well north of 100 lbs) for our pup. The recliners I had (and loved) in the living room got shifted to our camper and the LazyBoy got sold. The recliners are very comfy and covered in microfiber. Similar to this one:

I don't much care for leather as much as fabric but that is a personal druther. Our chairs are supposed to recline when right up against the wall but giving them about 2" allows full stretch-out reclining.
