Goodbye Broken Furniture - Hello Comfort

We have owned our motorhome for 8 years now and the furniture has shown significant wear.  It was primarily the 6 years we spent full-timing that caused the damage.  We have been searching for a new couch (sofa) and chair since the spring.  Our first instinct was to go to Winnebago’s Grand National Rally (GNR) and have them replaced by Winnebago Service.  The $4500 + Installation set us to search for other alternatives.  We got lots of great advice from friends who have had experience refurbishing their RVs.  Most of that advice pointed to companies in Elkhart, Indiana.

Bradd and Hall Store

Great Collection of RV Furniture

After some research, We narrowed down all the advice to 2 companies in Elkhart, Bradd and Hall and Factory RV Surplus.   We decide to reroute our trip to Florida to go through Elkhart.  Although, we planned to stay a week in Elkhart at the Elkhart Campground, it turns out we only needed 2 days.  We arrived on Sunday and started shopping after a Crackle Barrel breakfast on Monday morning.  Our first trip was to Factory RV Surplus.   They had some pretty good furniture and their store looked like a warehouse.  Their prices were very good but the selection was very limited and they had no installation capability.  They did refer us to a business across the street who would install any purchases we made.  I think that if you are an RVer that likes to do-it-yourself this is a great place to shop but for us this is not what we wanted.

Now to Bradd and Hall.  The experience there was terrific.  Within an hour we were able to select a couch and chair from the great selection of furniture in the store.  We spent over an hour trying out every possible purchase and finally chose some very comfortable leather items that perfectly matched our interior. Bradd and Hall has a few RV Bays and some very strong young men to do the installs.  We were able to book installation for Tuesday morning for 8AM. 

Up early Tuesday morning in -7 degree C weather, we arrived with the motorhome a 7:45AM for our 8AM appointment.  By the way they don’t open until 9AM.  Bradd and Hall service was very efficient..  While we were at breakfast they removed our old couch and chair.  We got back just in time to see them installing our new purchases.  They had taped up and cushioned any sharp portions of the door so that the furniture wouldn’t be ripped on the way in.  They even vacuumed the floor before installation.  And one thing we didn’t expect and didn’t discover until we were on the road.  They tightened-up our loose captain’s chairs.  We were in at 8AM and we had the car attached and were heading south by 9:30.

Inspecting the Service

All in all a great experience!  Thank-you Bradd and Hall for a good price and great service.
