300lb dinette cushion set?

So my father n law bought a new Georgetown XL several months ago, the dinette seat back cushions are covered in 2 different design materials, he's been dealing with the people he bought the coach from about trying to get a replacement cushion for the one that doesn't match anything. He gets a cushion a few weeks ago, it was wrong, it gets reordered, he gets a phone call yesterday from the freight company asking if he has a forklift? Or a lifting device, as they have a package on a pallet for him that is over 300 lbs and the driver has no way of unloading it..... So Monday we will see what he is getting for 300lbs of what is supposed to be a seat back cushion!

How quality control ever let this out of the plant is a very good question.....

Maybe he's getting the entire dinette. Keep us posted.

That's what we're thinkin .... But wouldn't that be a little overkill for just sending the right seatback cushion to match???

Ummmm.
Would a complete dinette weight 300 pounds including the pallet?

I would guess about 150 lbs. Maybe it includes the sofa!

Update: he had the pallet sent to the Rv store he purchased unit at, it is indeed a complete dinette set, seems rather overkill to me for a mis matched seat back cushion.... I didn't see the new parts myself, at least he's gonna get it all fixed!

Cheers!

Overkill is using a 12 ga on a fly.

They have bumped it up a bit more than that...
