interior

[Mike McMahan]

As I have been researching recovering or replacing the captains chairs
in our coach I found a website (http://www.discountvantruck.com)that has RV
interior packages. They are located in California so I can't go see
teir items. Has anyone purchased anything from them? The items look
nice in the photos and the prices are reasonable. Thanks for any
info. Mike McMahan 1989 PT40

I asked the other day if anyone had purchased any interior furniture
from a company/website discountvantruck.com I guess no one has but I
am still interested. Do we have a member in the Long Beach, Ca area
that might be willing to go by their store and check out the quality
of their merchandise. Their phone number is 800-414-0485. Thanks,

Private email will be sent. I am not that far, and can definitely arrange to get
down there in the next few days.

Hi Ken,
Please send me your findings too. I am going to need a new couch for my
PT40 & their prices do look good. Appreciate your help to go check this
out.

I bought two new seats from this place (they are actually located in Bell
Gardens, CA), but they have a Long Beach business address???).

The seats are OK, but not even close to the quality of FlexSteel furniture.
The first set they made me, they put the armrests up near my armpits, and
the skirts on the bottom were about 4 inches too short so the seat pedestal
mechanic were visible. I took the seats back, and they made me new ones which
were a lot better (no additional costs...and they made me entirely new seats).

Typical internet sales...cheaper quality, made by hispanic craftsmen in good
'ole Southern California, in some back alley industrial area of the
outskirts of downtown LA. I know...I went to their factory...and got what I
paid
for...inferior quality, at a reasonable price (is there such a thing??).

If you are on a budget, like I was, the seats are about 1/3rd the cost of
FlexSteel, at about 1/2 the quality, so I guess a better value???

Good luck....

Ken,

It was great of you to offer to check on those guys. Please post your
impression of the quality of the products and the company as I am sure
many people will be interested, based on the prices I saw on their
website.

Say, you've been lurking forever. When you gonna break down and make
the plunge into Bird ownership? =;^)

Kevin, Thanks for the post. I was considering purchasing some of
their products but I guess if it sounds too good to be true it
probably is. Thanks again. Mike mcMahan
