Totally stocked, I took my dinette and bunk cushions in to Mckee's today. It's only going to cost me $250 to reupholster 5 cushions. I should have them back in 2 weeks, just in time to head for the hills.

That is a good price. I've been searching for months now and finally settled on RVvanandsurplus.com Getting a set of new dinette cushions shipped for $350.00

Great price. I wish I could remember what I paid for my vinyl but the upholstery work on the dinette was $120.

Marty is a local here with a small shop. I dropped my cushions off yesterday, and he said two weeks. This morning I got a message to come pick them up they are done. I can't wait to get home to see how they turned out. I'll post some pics soon.

I can't wait to get home to see how they turned out. I'll post some pics soon. It would be great to see photos of the finished cushions.

Last week I took all my trim pieces in to my upholstery guy (Marty), 8 pieces. Today he called me to ask what material I wanted, cloth or vinyl. I said, since it was vinyl before let's go with the tan. Marty then says, you know if you remove all the staples it will save you a lot of money. So, I went to his shop to pick up the trim, he helped me load them in the truck, and asked, do you have a staple remover? When I said no he went over and got one, showed me how to use it correctly, and said here you can borrow it. I've only just met Marty, two weeks ago, but what a great guy. Anyway, tonight I pulled all the staples, and got the material off. Took me 3.5 hours, no wonder it will save me money. My point is, it might pay off to ask whoever is reupholstering for you, if it might save you some money as well. I don't know exactly how much I'm saving, but 3.5 hours of labor can't be cheap. And yes, I will get pictures going, if I can ever figure out photobucket.

Can I ask what you mean by trim pieces? Sounds like a great local business guy to work with.
