Try Belfield http://www. belfieldupholstery. co. uk/caravans. html Have a look on the cushions & there should be a label somewhere which gives you the name of the manufacturer (think it's Belfield for Bailey) Hope that helps x

I discovered evidence of a mouse last week while checking my van in storage. .......Why do they always chew the buttons on the seats??? Anyway minimum amount of damage and infestation it would seem as there was no food in the van but the little blighter found some citronella tea-lights and had a good knaw at them, cant find any more damage so I'm hoping it has moved on to somewhere else

I posted a reply to this last night, but it seems to have disappeared! Basically, I was suggesting that you try a local upholstery firm. In my experience, they can generally find a material that looks OK to cover the buttons. Yellow Pages or Google should provide some names.
