    2018 Momentum 399th sofa falling apart

    Is anyone else having trouble with their sofa starting to "peel" off. We haven't really used our RV a lot as some would say and the sofa is starting to peel apart already!

    Yes, the fake leather is a known issue. Some couches start peeling within a year. Others not for a couple of years. But, eventually, it appears they all do.

    Is there anything we can do other than buy a new one?

    I'm actually considering reupholstering the silly thing. It doesn't look like a lot of complicated "seamage." It might let me limp a few more year with what is a pretty poor overall-quality piece of furniture.

    We had no luck with the manufacture. We just replaced the theater seats. Now our couches are starting to peel. I heard having them reupholstered was either impossible or too cost prohibitive.

    Luckily, we’re not having trouble with the sofa on our 399 yet, "knock on wood". Do you have the love seat or the super sofa?

    WE have the super sofa. Very disappointing that they couldn't install something that lasted a little longer!

    I would contact Lippert (I assume this was Lippert provided in 2018). This is a known problem and in the past they have provided "good will" and sent a new one for free - worth the call.

    Recpro has rv furniture. We got our theater seating there to replace the one we had due to severe peeling.
