Those blankets not only do the protection job, but look bright and cheerful, washable and a lot cheaper than fitted covers that can still get stained and need cleaning. Result!
Look great but not waterproof, so the van seat fabric will eventually develop that lovely damp dog smell!…all dog owners are immune to ‘that smell’.
Are you saying my van smells?! Outrageous!! [laughing emoji] . A set of tight fitting Inka waterproof covers underneath may be the answer.
Or just a plastic dust sheet tucked in under blanket.
We have the blue striped seats (under the dull grey Inka covers!)
I have 2023 Cali Ocean and have just splashed out on Jackyards seat covers. I figured that the van cost so much and I want to keep it clean. We have two dogs as well so I like the fact I can just whip the covers off and put them into the washing machine. The covers were expensive but worth it. They are really well made and beautiful design and range of colours. I went for denim with the logos in silver.
Looking good. I’ve recently fitted them to my Beach and they’ve transformed the interior. I’ve also got the Werther’s Originals in the passenger side door - essential accessory.
HI, how long does it take to take these covers on and off?
The answer to the original question " Do you really need seatcovers? " is NO., but you can if you wish.
Our 13 year old son threw up in the back of our other car on the way back from Heathrow after a long haul flight (he has never been car sick before!). After an emergency stop at the services to get holiday towels out of of the boot & buy some wetwipes...Once home we had to remove the rear seat assembly to properly clear up the mess up and get rid of the lingering smell...If it had Inka's fitted it would have just been a case of removing the covers, hosing them down quickly then into the washing machine + scrubbing the floor mats.
Or, the answer is yes, but you can choose not to!
Seatskinz also manufacture the luxury 'leather' ones from the shop, so they should be a good fit. I really fancied the alcantara but not practical with this knobberI think these would be pretty amazing (formally seatskinz) https://individualautodesign.co.uk/product/alcantara-0002/
They will make them bespoke for any California. Looks to be around the same price as the leather look caliclub ones.

4 years with a Beach, 4 years with covers. When we sold it 3 weeks ago we took the covers off, original upholstery on seats was as new. Each to their own it will always be seat covers for us.
The seat covers suit your dog. It's almost as if he chose them!
I suspect they have been stung with slightly different models, permutations etc we may not even be aware of. I would be pleased they are doing things properly.
