Good morning everyone,
Has anyone found good seat covers to protect their driver and passenger rv seats?
i'm looking for something that can be taken off and washed, no sheepskin, probably in a canvass material.

I use 2 large blue towels sewn together to form a pocket to slip over back. Sit on front towel and let the back go where it wants. Terry cloth is very cool, washable, and available. I embroidered the words on the back "Blue Angle" in Red. Works.

Pat,

Are you looking for the Captains chairs or the Jackknife?

Have a look at Weathertech, they do heavy duty seat covers.

Why not sheepskin? I love mine. Cool in summer and warm in winter. And not sticky like leather or ultraleather.

Where would you get sheepskin? Sounds good, but expensive.

I didn't know you could purchase orange sheepskin.

Why not ask the upholstery shop to make a set of seat covers?

Oh! Hey! Maybe you cold have the covers made in clear vinyl! Then you could see the upholstery! (Ducking low)

FWIW my 1950 Chrysler came with dealer installed seat covers. It took a couple of beers before I'd look underneath. I enjoyed that pristine navy wool broadcloth upholstery for nearly 20 years before it began to come apart.

My best buddy in high school, when we had dates would take his dad's Impala. Whenever his dad would buy a new car every couple years he'd have those clear vinyl seat covers put on. We got really good at pulling them off and putting back on after our dates.

I had a '38 Studebaker Commander in High School and college. The wool broadcloth upholstery was never covered and it was still in nearly new condition when I got rid of it in 1969. That stuff was good cloth.

Wet Okole covers are popular with the "adventure sports" crowd. They might make something that would work.

Hi Frank
Look up Coverall's seat covers. Nylon canvas type material. Bought a set for a Ford Econoline. Might have xl for rv seats. Good quality, good fit on Ford. Bungee cord adjustment. Lots of pockets on the back.
