New Flexsteel Ultra Leather seat covers for our captain's chairs. It's a DIY job and we just finished the passenger seat and got it put back in the RV today.

Wanna try that again, Sarah?

• 100 watt Renogy triple Solar Panel kit. 300W on the equator at high noon.

• 100AH Lithium Battery, two of them. Have room for a 3rd, not sure I need it.

• A pair of battery current meters with storage. One goes in, one goes out.

Just finished installing a new camera system a few weeks ago. 9" monitor on a gimbal rigidly fixed to roof structure in a Sprinter Class C. Added two cams, one to each mirror with a custom molded mirror shell.

Not too fond of the thought of climbing 11 feet up to install the panels.

Do you mean covering the seats? (Or is the photo not displaying??) I'll upload the photo instead of linking, so I apologize for thread-clutter.

**NLOVNIT** · 09-20-2018, 08:08 PM

There's the picture. Oh that looks very nice. You did a great job. Are the covers the "real" Ultraleather so they'll last this time?

Thanks; it has been a very time-consuming job. Yes, these are actual Ultra Leather and not "Halo" Chinese junk.

(Weird that some people can see the original pic and some can't.)

Ron--I ordered them directly from Flexsteel. When I provided copies of the paper tags that are attached to each original seat, they made the new covers from the original patterns. They sent fabric samples so that we could choose what we wanted.

I was actually surprised to see the Fleetwood emblem on them, though the original seats have them. The emblems are embroidered and the covers are excellent quality. If you need any further info for just let me know.

Installed a Progressive Industries hardwired 30 amp electrical management system with remote. Also purchased a roll of butyl rubber tape, some tubes of Dicor self leveling and non-leveling caulk, and a couple rolls of white and black trim screw vinyl covers.
About time to redo all the seams on my campers.

Been there twice in 2.5 years. First time, swore at engineers and designers. Stupid install, near impossible to access.Second, a month ago as "new" valve failed at pivot on foot actuator. Wet carpets in bedroom . Different swear words same subject. Tuesday, still small leak, off it came. Tried swear words in French. Stupid drip at water connection that you cannot get a standard wrench or pliers on. Supposed to be finger tight. That never works. Finally used basin wrench for the horizontal connection.
