Motor homes & Caravans
In a motorhome or caravan, every centimetre counts. Comfort must go hand in hand with functionality and quality, and durability is essential in the face of the stresses of the road and repeated use. At Ruchaud, we design bespoke upholstery to optimise space, enhance the on-board experience and blend in perfectly with your interior and exterior fittings.
Upholstery for leisure vehicles
Manufacturers and converters of leisure vehicles need upholstery solutions that combine comfort, technical features and adaptability. At Ruchaud, we design made-to-measure sets, designed to fit the compact, multi-use configurations of your motorhome.
- Headquarters
- Fixed or convertible benches (face-to-face, dinette, L or U)
- Ergonomic, comfortable sleeping mats or mattress toppers
- Seat and back cushions
- Footstools, headrests and modular elements
- Curtains, blackouts or net curtains
- Wide choice of technical foams and abrasion-resistant, easy-to-clean coverings
Each project is adapted to space constraints, vehicle ergonomics and the expectations of your users, whether they are travelling as a couple or as a family.
Ruchaud tailor-made for your leisure vehicle
Each vehicle is unique: format, layout, range level, finishes, etc. Thanks to our in-house design office, we model your projects in 3D to anticipate technical constraints, optimise ergonomics and guarantee a precise fit.
Based on your plans or templates, we create the upholstery elements: benches, berths, cushions, curtains or additional equipment. Our team analyses the intended use, frequent points of contact, storage or humidity constraints, and suggests the most suitable foams and coverings.
Our products are made in our workshop in the Vendée using durable, attractive materials that are well suited to life on the move. Strength, comfort and meticulous finishing are at the heart of every project.
Technical solutions selected for life on the move
The constraints of a leisure vehicle call for rigorous choices of materials: resistance to friction, temperature variations, humidity and light. Our upholstery is designed to last in a mobile, demanding and multi-purpose environment.
Technical foams for outdoor upholstery
We select different foams according to use:
- Polyether or high resilience (HR) foams Perfect for interior upholstery, they offer long-lasting comfort with different densities depending on use (mattress, seat, backrest...).
- Eco-friendly foams Made from recycled or natural materials, designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising durability or comfort.
Each configuration benefits from a choice of foam adapted to the frequency of use and the function of the furniture.
Durable, attractive fabrics
The durability of upholstery also depends on the choice of the right cover. We select fabrics that resist rubbing, light, stains and moisture, while remaining easy to maintain.
We have an extensive fabric library with several thousand references: technical textiles, leather imitations, vinyls, woven or coated fabrics... with a wide variety of colours, textures and finishes to suit every ambience, from the most classic to the most contemporary.
Thanks to our partnerships with major manufacturers and brands in the sector (Sunbrella, Spradling, Skaï Continental, Serge Ferrari...), we offer innovative, comfortable and robust fabrics, specially adapted for mobile and repeated use.
Our sourcing also incorporates a responsible approach with an increasing selection of recycled, certified or low environmental impact materials, without compromising on performance or visual appeal.
With Ruchaud, you benefit from a vast choice of materials and finishes to design upholstery that is comfortable, durable and perfectly integrated into the world of your vehicle.
Expert finishes
The nomadic use of a motorhome or caravan means higher standards of finish: safety, practicality, compactness. We pay particular attention to the smallest details:
- Strong, topstitched seams to resist movement and vibration
- Practical fastenings (Velcro, zips, press studs) that are robust and easy to handle
- Fixings adapted to mobile constraints (clips, Velcro, removable systems)
- Removable or fixed covers as required
- Integration of technical materials where necessary: HDPE supports, wood, reinforced foam, etc.
Each finish is designed to combine aesthetics, ease of use and reliability in real-life travel conditions.
