Driver, Passenger & Sofa seating

[rvjag]

We have had our Georgetown just 3years now and the furniture fabric (faux leather) is breaking down...we have not abused this furniture...has anyone else had this problem? We have notified Forest River no response yet. Otherwise really enjoy our MH.

We had the same problem with our front seats about six months after we took delivery.Fr replaced them no problem.2009 georgetown 350

We are having the same problem with both captain chairs and the sofa! I thought it was due to them not being armor all or lotion put on them but they are TERRIBLE!

The furniture in ours is made by Wlliamsburg Furniture Company of Nappanee Indiana

Can anyone tell us if there is something that we can use to keep the faux leather from breaking down? We had the same think on the chairs in our fifthwheel and I thought it something I did in trying to clean them.

When they replaced my seats the dealer informed me there was a defect in the material. Replaced no problem

The same thing happen to me.
(2008 Georgtown 373) about a year after we got it.
The service Dept at the dealer changed the 2 front chairs "no charge"
and then a few months after that, the dealer closed so i had to deal with
Forrest River on my own about the sofa cushins
They sent me 3 sofa cushin replacement covers
Good luck, "They know about this"
Let us know how you make-out!

Williamsburg Furniture Inc made the captains chairs and sofa I hope FR has discontinued using this supplier. FR agreed to pay shipping for the replacement of our seats and sofa cushion covers since the warranty was up. We have had 4 RV's and have never had this problem before. Very disappointed; live and learn.

[rvjag]

Have you been happy with the replaced seating? Worried that the new ones we have ordered will do the same thing.

so far, so good
we only use the rv
about 3 months a year

The faux leather fabric on our front captains chairs and on our sofa has broken down very badly. We have a 2008 Georgetown 357QS and i have not contacted FR since we are over the warranty period, maybe I should contact Mike Burns about this poor quality issue.

our 2008 373 is the same way. Really lousy quality. We have only had 4 or 5 trips since we bought it a year and a half ago, and it was almost unused before we bought it. There's no way it should be falling apart like it is....

What a coincidence as I have had my RV for 3 years now and the same thing is happening to my furniture. The finish on the faux leather is wearing away. I did contact Forest River and they will not cover it. I have an extended warranty and they will not cover it either. I am debating on either having it reupholstered or buy new furniture. I've found "Discount RV Furniture" online and may buy new from them.

I have talked to an RV Mobile tech who said that it was rare to have problems with the faux leather.

Thats what i expect from your "extended warranty"
very few people get anything from them.
There good at selling the policys
and very good at not paying claims.

My seats are doing the sam e (2008 SE) and I will expect I willhave them recovered.

RV Jag,

We've had the same problem in the same amount of time. The leather is basically rubbing down to nothing in some spots. The chair is fine but the sofa and passenger and driver seats are having this problem. FR wouldn't do anything for us so we are preparing to buy new furniture. We are full timers but not hard on the furniture. We should not be having this problem. We've heard this problem is rare but not sure what has caused it.

Suggestions would be helpful as I recently was told we are out of warranty period and thus crud out of luck! FOREST RIVER ERRRRRRR

I was very lucky that the dealer swapped my couch out with my 06 bounder. This couch is flex steel and is wearing very well . I told the dealer that I could not deal with the blow up bed. On the front seats I put seat covers and that solved that problem. After owning several other coaches I could see that the furn. on this one was crap.

I purchased new sofa cushion covers from Forest River at a cost of $120. I was offered replacements for the captains chairs at $355. but FR could not get me a quote on shipping cost. I decided to wait on the captains chair replacements, Discount Van Truck offer chairs at around $350 with a shipping cost of $46 each, and you can choose many fabrics as well as "faux leather", I will probably buy there.
