Fabric for interior panels

Post by Leyadog »

We become the proud owners of a 1986 T25 Autosleeper Conversion tomorrow. Very excited but she needs some TLC and the fabric on her interior panels is stained and in some places worn through to the panel itself. Can anyone recommend where I can source the material that is used to cover the panels so I can give her a much needed spruce up? Thanks

Just a word of advice:
if you are spray gluing the new fabric be sure to use the heat resistant spray.
Much of the other non resistant type fails after a while, leaving your initially looking good panels in a sorry state.
Only wear the hat if it fits

The 'Trimfix' spray glue is fine.

2 years down the line since we recovered our van with no issues. :ok

Thank you for the speedy replies. Brought Wilf home today and I can now start planning her interior refurb. I'll try the links and the advice about the heat resistant adhesive will be very usefull

Yep, previous owners called the van Wilf but I always thought of our van being a she - so we've renamed her Wilfreda but Wilf for short. I was pleased to discover that Wilfreda means 'desiring peace' so I thought a pretty cool name! :D
