Our newly acquired Triton (2006) is in pretty good shape generally, but the seat covers are looking a bit tired. They are the original navy and gold stripe fabric, and, generally speaking, I’m a big advocate of preserving originality. However, I’m considering having the whole lot re-upholstered in a more contemporary fabric to freshen up the look of the interior. This would be something I’d use a professional upholstery company for. Definitely not a diy job for us!!

So ... good idea or bad idea? If bad, why? Anyone done it and have experiences to share? And can anyone recommend a company who can do the work?

We’re based in the east midlands (Derby .... ish) so would like to use a reasonably local company if possible. Thank for any thoughts .....

Belfield Direct in Ilkeston, Derbyshire do caravan upholstery/foam refurbs.They are booked up until the end of August.

I would like to assume you intend to keep this van for some time, so why not decorate it as YOU would like it? it's you that will be sat inside it so make it as you would like it.

Thanks for this. We’re near Burton on Trent so no too far from Ilkeston. I’ll give them a call. It would be a job for over the winter months, so no rush. The van is kept in storage and we can store the cushions etc at home in the mean time. Just need to decide on a fabric we both like now .... might be a challenge ....

We used Crystal Upholstery for our refit which I believe has moved to new premises at Ilkeston

Of course. It's your toy to play with as you wish!
