Default RV interiors

About ready to order my 6 interior, have been following, with interest, the German option.
Have done several interiors, from "Classic" great products, however long lead times, for obvious reason.
It has been a while now, am interested in the VAF feed back from those who have, ordered and received, interiors from Germany.
Need to make a decision ASAP.

Thanks,
Dick

I ordered my interior from them about 2 months ago. Very delightful to converse with and plan out the materials and color combination I wanted. The sample materials arrived about a week after I narrowed down my choices and ordered them. They had a pretty good sale going on when I ordered so the jobs were back logged but I should be pretty close to the top of the list. I know someone here posted that he ordered some side panels from them and he was very pleased with the quality when he got them. I ordered a full leather interior package.

I'm in the exact same camp as you. You ordered about a month before me though. I am going with sheepskin seats and leather side panels.

Dont forget about Abby at flightline interiors. My seats are from Classic Aero and my carpet from Abby. I am very happy with both companies.

Agreed, The Classic Aero seats are great, I am concerned about the German seat hight, as you are aware, getting in and out of a tip up involves sitting on the top of the seat back, at least for me it does. They look to be too high in this area. that is why I was wondering if anyone has taken delivery??
Abbys carpets fit fine however, I was a little disappointed with the carpet material
very light and flimsy, also I would like good carpets and have them surged bound, not available from Classic or Abbys????

I am also nearing the point in my RV-14A construction that I need to be thinking about the interior. What is the "German option"? Is this an upholstery company in Germany? If so, what is their website address?

Thanks for any help.
