slipcovers

[David and Fran]

We have a sofa sleeper as well as a J-couch in our MH. Traveling with a pet we have just kept blankets on them to keep the dirt/hair down. However, they always shift. I am sure that there are commercial slipcovers out there that will fit the sleeper, but have any of you seen one for the J-couch?

Thanks!

When I bought slipcovers for our sofa/loveseat at home, they came with strips of foam to wedge down the back of the back of the seat to keep the fabric from slipping. (Put the cover on, tuck in & then use the foam to keep it all in place) - I've seen the strips sold seperatly in the bedding department of Zellers (Canadian department store) which might help you out. As long as you have room to get your fingers between the seat & the back, you'll be able to wedge the foam in. They will help keep the blanket on the seat part in place, although yo may be able to use them around the edges and top if you have some nooks & crannies.

We have gotten by using over-sized comforters.

Thank you for your suggestion...sounds like the blanket/comforter is probably the best. I'll look for the foam to use...I know I have seen it in stores too; I just need to look again.

New Question.
I am an avid reader and have accumilated lots of paper backs. Is there anyone out there that needs to trade out? The 1/2 off book stores won't give you anything for them and I hate to throw them away.

Instead of the foam, you might be able to use PVC pipe or the foam insulation you put around pipes.

For your paperback books, many RV parks have a trading library. You can take yours and pick up some you haven't read. In theory, you may never have to buy another book. If you only find 2 books you like at the first place, don't leave 5. Take them with you to the next spot for more trade opportunity.
