Buy sheepskins for the camper

Buying sheepskin seat covers for your RV can be a great way to add both comfort and a cozy atmosphere. Sheepskin is soft, warm, and breathable, making it ideal for long trips and for use in both warm and cold seasons. Here are a few tips for buying sheepskin seat covers:

1. Choose the right size and fit

• Size: Make sure the skins are large enough to cover the chair completely. Sheepskins come in different sizes, so it is helpful to measure the dimensions of your chairs before ordering. Buy sheepskins at Schapenvacht24.nl means that you have to bring the camper to try it on. Only then can you buy sheepskins for the camper.
• Fit: Some seats in campers have armrests or a specific shape. You can choose to have a custom-made fur or use an elastic band or strap to secure it properly. We call these fur tensioners.

2. Types of sheepskins

• Natural sheepskin: This is a real sheepskin and offers the most comfort and insulation. It is durable and keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This is called self-regulating. A sheepskin is great to use in all seasons.
• Dyed or treated sheepskin: You can choose from furs in different colors or styles to match your interior.
• Synthetic fur: This option is cheaper, but does not have the natural insulating properties of real sheepskin.

The most sold sheepskins are Texel, Mouflons and Veluwe sheepskins. All these skins are robust, beautiful wool and fantastic to sit on and to look at.

3. Maintenance and cleaning of sheepskins

• Sheepskins are relatively low maintenance, but it is important to air them regularly and brush them occasionally to keep them clean and fresh. You can also vacuum a fleece, but only on the lowest setting.
• Some sheepskins can be washed, but always read the washing instructions to avoid damaging the fleece. Never put a sheepskin in the dryer.

4. Confirmation

• You can simply place the sheepskin over the seats, but it is often better to secure them with straps or elastics so that they stay in place while driving.

Where to buy sheepskins

• Online stores is a no-go to buy. If they are a bit too small or too narrow, you will not be comfortable driving in the camper.
• Markets or farm shops can offer local, high-quality sheepskins. Lexwonen is on the market and has a sheepskin barn. There they take the time to help you with fitting. You can buy sheepskins at the markets in Wageningen, Veenendaal and Bennekom.
• Camping shops sometimes sell sheepskin seat covers that are specifically designed for camper seats. Camper farms also often have sheepskins for sale.

Such a purchase can really make a difference to the comfort and atmosphere in your camper! Also, since the Corona, more and more sheepskins are being sold for in the caravan or for in the tent.
