Shop4Seats will build furniture to your fabric specifications and the prices were quite reasonable when compared to buying a package from something like Flexsteel. Ultimately, I decided this was what I was going to do. We Visited Shop4Seats in TexasĮarly on in planning out my remodeling, I did some looking around and came across. That’s why I did it, and all the reason I needed. And I had set out to remodel the interior and make it look younger. It may help the rig sell faster, but we’re not going to make the money back. While new furniture might give the rig a slight bump when it comes to resale, there’s simply no way we’ll recoup the cost. Motorhomes depreciate and new furniture isn’t going to stop that. Well, to be clear, this isn’t an investment you make for financial reasons. Is it worth it to buy new furniture for an RV at all? That’s a significant savings off of buying new Flexsteel chairs. For instance, the captain’s chairs I bought were all leather and ran about $550 each. You could buy a whole package, pick the fabrics, have it built to order, and same money. So, if one is going to buy new furniture, I concluded that Shop4Seats was a pretty good deal. None of the colors look right for our rig, and it would mismatch everything else. The problem was that buying one single piece meant it would be visually completely different than everything else in the motorhome. Camping World even carries one made by Lippert Components ( see here). If we only tried to solve the jack-knife sofa issue, I found you could pick up a basic one for perhaps the $600 range. The prices don’t get much better when you’re looking at buying new couches or booths.
If you prefer leather, you can easily drop over $1,000 on a single captain’s chair. A fabric-covered chair can easily run you $700-$800. Buying new Flexsteel chairs is quite expensive. That is what our rig had in it originally. When you look into captain’s chairs, you will most often come up with Flexsteel. We preferred a jack-knife sofa that would allow us to walk around when the bed is in use. Not only that, it was a traditional sleeper sofa which took up quite a lot of space when my son sleeps in it. The couch was in decent shape, however it had these funky stripes and just looked old. The dinette booth had obvious wear point, but no rips. The two captain’s chairs were ripped up and we covered them with seat covers from Camping World. Not only that, our furniture had seen better days.
However, we knew that it would still look pretty dated as long as we kept the old furniture. Before too long, however, you would have to run that comparison cost on whether reupholstering will give you what you want versus just buying new.Īfter reflooring our 2002 Holiday Rambler Vacationer, it looked much better on the inside. This is certainly an option if you have the skills or are willing to pay somebody to do it for you. You can reupholster your existing furniture. 😉 And no matter what else you may do to the interior, it will still look dated. But, the ones built in the early 2000’s or earlier often come with some pretty funky patterns. When it comes to used motorhomes and trailers, almost all of them have the exact same furniture they were built with. After all, it isn’t a cheap thing to do and the financial ROI simply isn’t there. It is a rare motorhome owner, most likely, that seeks to replace their furniture.
