Hey ron, I found a couple of slats for the upper short cabinets. Do you want me to send them to you?

Chris,


That looks great! My wife, just this weekend, decided that we need leather in our Palm Beach. Where did you have this done, and would you recommend them again, and could you hint at the cost? We have the bunk-gaucho, dinette and rear sofas.


It really looks great! Congratulations.

Larry, Contact Jim Bounds about the "Pleather" product he sells. A great
(and cheaper) alternative to leather. Looks very nice.

Thanks

All, Thanks for the compliments.

The sofa is the one that came with my coach, I always thought it was a GMC one, but it has been modified presumably to fit on the passenger side. My coach had this on one side and the davo bunk beds on the other, and appeared to once have a dinette.

The fabric is Ultraeather. It is softer than the honda seats, but the color is pretty close to them. I paid $22 per yard for 10 yards and have about a yard left. The stuff usually sells for $85 per yard.

The couch has all new good foam, and the guy charged $25 per yard to do the work. I paid $300 to have it recovered with $200 worth of fabric. $500 is a lot, but It needed to be done. About two GMC untits!!!

The guy may have to adjust the wires inside as there is some pucker at the edges I don't like.

I can give you the guys' number when I get home (I'm on the road) and he does it at his place in Black canyon city, AZ. A bit slow, but I told him I wasn't in a hurry.

It is very comfortable to sit on.
