Subject: Re: Interior Vinyl Author: Steve Anderson [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11/ 1/ 03, 8:24am In reply to: Biff 's message, "Interior Vinyl" on 10/ 30/ 03, 6:00pm Biff, I am one of those that was dis-satisfied with the configuration of the original dinette. Last year we removed most of the original and made a table/chair setup that works better for us. In addition, the vinyl in our dinette was beyond the cleanup or minor repair stage. We replaced the wall covering with short nap commercial grade carpet material. This covering method is difficult. Even the thinnest most pliable of carpeting is difficult to "tuck in" around the windows and door. The big "but" here is positive though. We are very satisfied with the results. The carpet material allows for color variation, texture variation, allows the removal of the plastic retaining strips, and is warmer than the cool vinyl. Previous owners of this coach had made some cabinette and table changes in the salon. Unfortunately not all of their handiwork was less than professional. As a result, the curbside wall vinyl has suffered and is unsightly (not everyone is as critical as myself, but I am the one that has to look at it every day.)I am in the process of replacing the curbside wall covering at this time. This proceedure is not one everyone is interested in as there are many who want to retain their coaches "original". I am less of a purist, and although I love the quality and workmanship of my bird there are a lot of things that were done in 1979 that can be done better nowdays. If you are interested in technique let me know and we can continue this off line. Steve Anderson 79 FC 35 Poulsbo, Wa [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
