FLynes Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hi everyone, we just bought our LaPalma last month and love it, but the interior was ready for an upgrade. It was looking a bit worn and dated, so we took it to the place where we had our 1976 Monaco Winchester interior redone. Ray is a great guy and, funny enough, used to do the interiors for Caribou Manufacturing in the 70’s. We told him to gut it and start fresh, high-end carpet in the bedroom, dinette/sofa area and doghouse, and LVP everywhere else. A couple of repairs had to be made to the floor, one soft spot in front of the fridge and one in front of the toilet. With the wood cut out and replaced, they skimmed the floor, and that’s where we’re at so far. The floor will get skimmed again and then the LVP will be glued down. Right as it’s done is when we’ll be getting back from visiting my mother in South Carolina, in time to take it to McCall, Idaho, then back in to the shop for upholstery replacement. The dinette, rocker and valances all get fresh designs. Here are some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLynes Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 We’re in the homestretch. Cleanup has started. I really like the way the flooring turned out. What I like best is the molding around the entry steps is now aluminum, in a gunmetal color. I didn’t get to take a picture of the front, because one of the workers was working up there.

Jimmiee Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Your interior looks amazing. Where did you get it done at? I would love to do the same at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RV Furniture Center, in Nampa, Idaho. Ray, the owner, is an amazing guy...he was a subcontractor for Caribou Manufacturing and did the interiors on Monaco motorhomes in the 1970's. He redid our 1976 Monaco Winchester Class C for us five years ago and it turned out spectacularly, so we trusted him implicitly to do the LaPalma. We leave for Pocatello, Idaho next weekend and when we get back he's going to do the upholstery and valances.
