Say Goodbye To Peeling RV Furniture
Is your RV couch peeling, cracking, or flaking? If so, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, flaking and peeling RV furniture is something many RV owners have dealt with at some point or another. This can happen due to normal wear and tear or from a chemical reaction with heat and humidity.
We had our Thomas Payne RV couch for a little over three years before we ever experienced any peeling problems. But once the peeling started, it spread quickly and didn’t stop. Chunks of pleather (imitation leather made from polyurethane) material circulated everywhere throughout our RV, and it quickly became a huge nuisance.
How to repair peeling RV furniture
After researching what options I had to resolve this issue, I learned I could possibly use pleather repair patches. I could also opt to cover the couch with a sofa cover, or start over with a brand new couch (which is what we chose to do). In the case of something like peeling driver or passenger chairs with electronics and other mechanisms, getting them reupholstered is going to be your best option.
Replacing the peeling couch
We loved the original couch that came stocked in our RV, so we started to look for a direct replacement. This led to us having to choose a couch from either Lippert or RecPro, two of the top RV furniture brands. They’re both reputable and offer an extensive line of RV sofas.
I spent countless hours researching the differences between the two companies: pricing, shipping, warranty coverage, their responses to the “peeling RV furniture” issue. I had in-depth conversations with both companies and we all ultimately decided to partake in an Ultimate Comparison project since it could greatly benefit the RV community as a whole.
Both companies shipped me a couch to rigorously test and report on, and after putting them both through the ringer—the results are in! In the video below, you’ll learn everything you need to know about peeling RV furniture problem. From why and how it happens to what your options are, how to get the best price on new furniture, and more! You’ll also see an in-depth review and comparison of both of the couches I received.
It took months for me to put this video together and I hope it helps RVers easily deal with the annoying problem of peeling RV furniture. After all, it usually helps to talk about your peelings.
