You can never go wrong with the stock salt & pepper upholstery. I think WW still carries them.

Camper should not have heat seams, so you will need to have TMI make you a custom set without the heat seams. Any TMI dealer can get these for you.

I did my seats in leather and added seat heaters. The panels are repro material done on waterproof backing board with custom flooring covering made from burlap flooring material backed with rubber backed jute.

Nicely done. And has held up very well for 15 years old or more.
