Seat Covers for Driver & Passenger seats

I recently had both my drivers seat and passengers seat replaced because they became more damaged over the years.
Bottom line I don't want to damage them again because of sweat and whatever is causing them to crack and peal.
So I just ordered some seat covers from Camping World that may help them last a bit longer.

Here is what I ordered just to protect them. They may not fit perfectly but will give a bit of protection.

They should arrive next week and I will take some pictures for you all to see.

Bought the same covers to put on the seats when we're parked and the dog is in the motorhome by himself. He likes to scratch on the seats and these are cheap protection.

They are actually pretty nice. We bought a set a few months ago and they fit snug and are a pretty good (color) match for the original covers. Not difficult to install. The only thing that I think they should improve is how the covers fit in the area where the seat back and seat bottom meet. They are held in by pressure, but ties would be better. Still not bad for the price.

Thanks all. My DW is a bit skeptical if they will be comfortable or not.
I'm looking forward to them because when driving I wear shorts and don't like to stick to the chair. I figure they may be a bit more comfortable sitting on and not worrying about the original seat covers.

Just another thought on these - I had seen how the Wynns (blog - Gone with the Wynns) looked they had some cashmere throws on their seats. We are from Florida so a cover was definately required and I went looking for something nice. I found some cotton XL twin natural cream colored blankets that look great and work to really block that sticky feeling. I can throw them in the washer a couple times a year and they come out perfect. And it protects our seats win win!

Well I just received the seat covers and they seem better quality than I expected. Here is a video the distributer posted on YouTube.

I will install in the next few days as my GT is not in my driveway but in the rv storage location a few miles away.

Chuckling to myself... I sit on a sheepskin seatcover (very expensive), my wife sits on a Cabelas seatcover (cheap).

Did you get seat covers or new captain chairs at the Frog Rally?

I got new chairs at Goshen but now have protection them to make the new seats last longer. Don't want it happen again if I can help it with seat covers.

I just did a quick install of the seat covers purchased from Camping World.

1. They did fit nicer than I expected.
2. Their is a right and left arm cover so look at your closer. One had a larger piece of side material that goes to the outside.

I did roll up the original skirts of the seats so I could attach the hooks and straps below the seats. Looks OK.


I expect the creases to come out after being used a few times.
I think they do look good.

Just wondering what your thoughts are on the seat covers??
