Our coach is a 1995 model and we felt that the interior looked tired and dated. After 15 years of service the interior looked good and was very much serviceable, but this winter is interior upgrade time. I am removing all components ourselves and we will take the components to an interior shop in Nacodoches, Texas is is familiar with RV interiors. The Foretravel factory is located in Nacodoches, so remodeling RV is commonly done in the city. Their are no Prevost converters in this area of Texas, so Nacodoches is the best bet for my location.
I have take a few shots of the last two days work. Lee and I have done all the disassemble so far. It has taken approximately 7 hours of both of our time to get all the furniture out and half of the salon window trim removed. Not bad for us.
I am determined to do this myself. It looks like a good project that will yield great results.

After all the furniture was removed, we covered the existing carpet with a stick on protector covering. I do plan on replacing the carpet, but wanted to protect the existing carpet.

Part of the interior upgrade will include replacing the upholstery covering the lower part of the dash. I started taking the dash apart. The hole in the top of the dash is where CC puts a store box, "glove box".

Here is the removed interior, seats, couch and recliner. This is part of the load that I will take to the upholstery shop in Nacodoches, Texas.

Here are several of the window trim components removed and ready to be removed. One of the window treatment panels is 16 feet long and 42 inches high. I will need to remove one of the windshields to get this out of the bus.

Of course, here is the happy camper, me.
Does anyone have any recommendations concerning replacing carpet. My carpet is sculptured and I do like the touch. The feedback I am getting from RV carpet installers is that sculptured carpet is old style. What is the feeling from POG members concerning sculptured versus non sculptured?
I will update this post as the project matures.
