A Facelift for Figment

Figment was a bargain. We purchased her this year, 2025, in early August, after finding her on the internet. She was listed in the previously-owned section of a local Mercedes dealership. She was pretty and the price was fair, so off we went, all the way saying to ourselves and each other, “We are just looking - no buying. Do not buy this thing. Wait. Shop around.” We were dead-set on not buying that day. No sir. No way. Not gonna happen. And then, we it happened. We bought her. I think we had buyer’s remorse for the first 24-48 hours because of our promise to each other, but after a couple of days of poking around the camper and the chassis, and researching on the internet, our remorse flipped around to become delight and we have remained enamored ever since.

She was in fantastic shape, but in need of a little help here and there. Besides her style being a little outdated, her seats were ready for retirement - honestly probably a couple of years ago. The Naugahyde was “done” and trying its best to escape, tiny piece by itty-bitty piece. It peeled and flaked and flaked and flaked and flaked. Our first journey out, that dinette shed its skin minute by minute. Little fake leather flakes covered everything from our feet to the sheets on our bed, and, man, it was gross! So, first thing in rode was to get those cushions covered.
