There was a few things missing for our Ken-Craft when we rescued it.
One of the biggest being the bench seating and table in the dinning area.
The original seating was two free standing couch like benches with
a jack knife action to lay flat. We were convinced we would have to build bench
seats on either side of a table. As my husband was searching online for a furnace part
he came across a couple that were completely gutting and redoing a travel trailer.
We set off to see if there furnace was a match for ours, and what a score.
Look what we found!
Can you believe it, and only $10 each.
OK, so they definitely need some work, but I can't believe we found them.
The lady we purchased them from started to take the fabric of one to see if she could redo them.
Because the seating jack knifes to fold flat there is a small storage area underneath.
They both had some water damage, so we decided to change the bottom panelling.
The hardest part of this job was getting all the staples out.
My hubby did all the sewing on this project.
If it wasn't for him I would have had to have them professionally done.
He is a much better seamstress then I am.
So, here is the finished seat.
We put new legs on, the 3 inch ones were a bit low so, we went with the 6 inch.
My husband did a GREAT job!
