Hi. Today was the day I took my Van to DK Schweizer to have the seats upholstered in leather. Arrived at 8.30am and all done by 12.10. And boy am I impressed!!

Massive thanks to Rob and his team for sorting me out.
 
Does that include replacing the door panel cloth sections as well?

What about the cloth insert next to the bed, behind the back seat opposite the wardrobe?

It included door cards and they did a leather backing to the mattress if that’s what you mean. The chairs also still have pockets on the rear of them.

They are terrific - something else to add to my list of things I’d like to do.
Some lovely designs and patterns on their webpage.
Do you photos of the tears if the bench, bed and front seats too?
 
Is this some kind of code message
Pfft - that’s me not Re-reading it properly with auto correct ‘helping’.
Sorry it was meant to read.....

As a side note, am I able to re-edit a post once I’ve made it rather than appending this message so I could tidy this up?

If you were a VIP member yes.

Hi, I’ll take some tomorrow as it’s too dark now but the back of the front seats looks the same with the rear pocket in.
 
These look great, did you have to choose a design beforehand? What was the process?

Yes we sent a few emails back and forth first discussing ideas and Rob sending drawings over and posting out leather samples then we narrowed it down and I picked this design. Then it was a matter of paying a £500 deposit and booking in. Install took just under 4 hours.

Fitting in Colchester?
 
Looks superb... I’ve ordered some leather look ones from the shop, but there is a problem with the supplier, if I get my refund then a trip to Colchester will be arranged!
 
That looks like a top upgrade for the light colour seats, very nice, contrasting door card looks great also
 
Bought our Cali Beach last November (2018 reg.) and we are very disappointed with how easy the seats mark, to the point where we have decided to have a full leather retrim. After doing lots of research on these forums, we chose DKS to do our retrim as they have been recommended by forum members. Afer numerous communications on my part, I was past from various 'salesmen' to their reception a number of times and after a number of online enquiries, emails and phone calls, managed to finally get an email response. By this point, I'd given up with them. This went on for around 2 months! Well, after attending Campermart and speaking to Vision Leisure Upholstery, they listened to what we wanted and now we have our retrim on order which should be sorted in around 3 weeks, result.

Would be very interested in seeing the pics when done .
 
See my post #14 on "Heated leather seats retro fit". I don't want andyinluton asking why I'm double posting, but seat covers, leather seats and heated seats crop up in a number of places!
 
Double posting is where you accidentally post the same thing twice in one thread by accident. That's totally different to deliberately posting the same post with multiple photos to three separate threads.
