Hi again. As promised by Foamland in Hobart, the upholstered foam seats/beds are done. I brought them home on Friday night and I must say that I am pleased with the way they look. The only reservation that I have is the thickness of the foam. When I ordered them, they told me that there was a distinct difference between foam for seats and foam for beds. I really had to make a choice and the compromise was to go for foam suitable for beds and make it just a little thicker so that it wouldn't flatten out too much when you were sitting on it. The consequnce was cushions which are quite thick. This is not a problem except that it reduces the headroom under the overhead cupboards. I can still sit up straight with my head hitting the underside of the cupboards, just.
Anyway some pics to follow of the cushions in place on Saturday. I will have to take them out again of course because the second coat of varish and other work has to be done.
This pic shows the cusions in place at the back of the vehicle. This section converts into a bed, so instead of going to the expense of having cusions made for along the back, I had some lumbar rolls which came off a lounge suite recovered. They look OK and can still be used as back supports, or a pillow if you want to have a bit of a nap and the bed isn't made up. This was a lot cheaper that having seat back cushions made too.
Another view of the back bed/lounge.
This one is of course the dinette at the front of the vehicle. The back cushions just like the ones at the back are used to make the bed.
Next post will be the cupboard doors.
