Covers for 3/4 rock and roll etc

Post by grumpyoldgit »

Just got my first van. The covers on the 3/4 size rock and roll bed, and the curtains, look rather tired and could do with being replaced. I found a couple of places on-line but they talked about reupholstering and I would have had to sell the van to pay what they are asking.
Does anyone know of an inexpensive source for curtains and covers?

i done the cushions in plain green a few years ago but they got stained quickly, the cammo is great for hiding the marks

Try the pluss organisation in exeter - do a search on here. Take the old covers off and send to them.....they are definitely really reasonable!

Ask for Pam Curtis!

they will make the new covers with their own material if you want - can hightly recommend the non-slip vinyl...it really stays in place...or you can do what I did, and supplied the material.

Good Luck

What do you mean by 'inexpensive'? We got our cushions from the Pluss Organisation in Exeter. They're excellent and good value. If you do a search for Pluss you'll find a whole thread about them.
