SILVER AVION

One of the things we became painfully aware of was how worn our furniture had become. The reason it was so painful is that the spring supports were sprouting through the fabric of the old sofa. The original chair had never been that comfortable, and the foam in the dinette cushions was shot. It was time for new furniture and accessories. This is how we accomplished this project.

We purchased the furniture from a company that specializes in furniture for all types of RV's and pleasure craft. Their primary supplier Flexsteel is located within minutes of their facility. The Brad and Hall showroom displays all available styles of furniture. This is not a buy it and take it home today store. You select furniture based on what you desire and what will fit in your Avion. Next is the selection of materials. We ordered an additional 5 yards to do the upholstery work. The furniture is then ordered and it takes about 3 or 4 weeks to arrive. The furniture can be shipped to you or you may come back and they will install it for you at an additional charge for labor. They will make dinette cushions. We left one set of cushions for reference. We purchased additional material to cover some fabric-covered items such as the doglegs at the end of the dinette.

The 32S has a front kitchen with the living room in the center. The new armchair is 2" wider than the original. It has a swivel/tilt base and is covered with ultra-leather. The chair has become my favorite place in the morning. I can get up early, sip the fresh coffee and watch the sunrise out the picture window.

The sofa is a Flexsteel Jackknife. It has thicker cushions than the original. This one came with a hook on front. I replaced the hooks with the spring hinges the original sofa had. It makes getting to the under sofa storage a lot easier. The afghan and pillows tie the blues that are in the wall pattern of the kitchen galley. The original sofa end pillows (not shown) are being recovered with the new material.

Bradd and Hall features Flexsteel Furniture in a variety of fabrics.
