About the service
I'm an upholsterer specializing in reupholstering the interiors of residential RVs and campers without needing to haul them anywhere. I work on-site: I come to your yard or campground with an industrial-grade sewing machine, a supply of foam, and a selection of moisture-resistant vinyl and upholstery fabric samples so you can choose colors and textures on the spot.
The work begins with an inspection of the sofa group, captain's chairs, or cushions that need reupholstering. I photograph and measure each piece, note where the foam has settled or started to crumble, and check zippers, welting, and stitching for wear. I replace old foam with dense closed-cell polyurethane — it holds its shape much longer than factory filling, especially in older models, and won't rot from moisture. New covers are cut from patterns taken directly from the originals, so seams and decorative quilting land exactly where they were before.
I sew on a portable machine with a fabric feeder rated for heavy vinyl and multiple layers of material, so stitching stays even on curved sofa edges and corners of a dinette. High-wear areas always get double-stitching, and pillow corners get reinforcement — these are the first places to suffer from kids, pets, and bags. I use moisture-resistant zippers with UV-protected tape, and at your request I'll add a pocket for small items to the back of the sofa at no extra charge.
A standard set — sofa group plus two cushions — usually takes five to seven working days after you choose and order the fabric; a full cabin with captain's chairs takes closer to two weeks. I always leave the old covers with you unless you ask me to dispose of them, and I photograph the finished work for my portfolio with your permission. Payment is upon acceptance after you personally inspect the stitching and fit of the covers.
I've reupholstered the cabins of Class A and Class C motorhomes, truck chassis campers, fifth-wheel trailers, and travel trailers, and I maintain a database of standard sofa sizes from popular manufacturers — this lets me quote faster for regular clients and referrals. If the foam smells musty and the vinyl is cracking and peeling, send me photos and approximate dimensions and I'll give you a firm price before I start work.
