This van build is phenomenal. Extremely envious. The fact the seats match the bed sells it very well.
@normatrodd6666 Жыл бұрын
Absolutely brilliant. I think those of us who voted to keep the old covers were just wanting a bit of colour. You have certainly chosen very well indeed. I would just say don’t go for gold stripes on the walls or anything that would be just too much and ruin the effect. Very well done Rick xx

Excellent video. Thank you for the suggestion of using a duvet cover and taking the time to video the steps of covering those cushions. Thanks to you I have a clear understanding of how to cover my peeling RV cushions. 💕

I absolutely enjoyed your process and how you worked it out. I’ve also done some buttoning and instead of tea towels on the back side to pull the button on the front tight, I used a smaller button on the back and was able to get it nice and tight. The tea towel method was good though! I love new to me ideas to use materials on hand. The fabric you chose is gorgeous, I love it! I think the backsplash would look better with hexagon tiles now with that fabric but that’s my opinion and it’s off topic lol.

Hi Rick, I took your idea and have purchased duvet covers with German Shepherds on for my dog theme camper; I even had buttons made using the same fabric. Amazing idea and one I’m grateful for you sharing, good work.

That's a great job, when you opened the packet to open the duvet I thought it was awful but the finished job is fabulous and looks great in situ. I shall now do mine the same as I have 30 year old floral fabric on my camper.

I was wondering myself why you hadn't originally thought about just stapling the back cover on Rick. Not sure if you know but you can get stainless steel staples, we used this same method years ago in my old friends sailing boat but went SS staples, this was because of the salty environment. It looks great, nothing wrong with a touch of VIP bling Rick 😉🥂👊!

Not sure Rick. That clashes as bad as the old cover with its gold geometric linear design. At best it matches your VIP lounge sign. I would have at least redone the buttons & lined up the pattern with the pattern on the top cushion so that they match. A safer look would be to choose a plain cover the same colour as your cab curtains without a pattern, as it would look less busy & its less trouble having to line up a pattern. You said it yourself that bold colours (or design) means you tire of them quicker. BTW, i don't know who suggested yellow works with grey but id definitely question their dress sense 👀😜😁
