Default Seat covering tearing

The driver's and passenger's seat coverings are tearing apart. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so how was the issue corrected? I believe the material is imatation leather.

Does anyone have a recommendation on seatcovers?

Recently read where a couple went to Sheer Comfort Seat Covering and the photos looked great.

depends on what you have- some RV's use stock seats ( my 2006 Pleasure Way uses the chevy seats) with a nicer cover on top. Some may have a tag from the company which made them.


A stop at a local auto upholstery shop may be your best bet.


For my chev I used new seat base foam from "the seat shop" online or amazon, made all the difference in comfort

I also had same issue and replaced mine by removing Roadtrek covers completely and replacing with GM factory material seat covers from The Seat Shop in Plano TX. You order by year of van and what material and color my cloth seats with new arm rest covers were about $700-800. You can also order replacement seat foam also and they have videos on how to DIY. I installed myself in my driveway in about 30 mins per side. My wife loves the factory GM cloth seats such better than the fake leather.

I will post pics of my seats with new material tomorrow.

I bought new Seats from dicksautoparts for my 05 Chevy 3500 Roadtrek - think I paid $400.

Here is what I ordered years ago but I am sure they have what you need.
