I sure hope those have more padding than the seats in part of the plane I end up in! 5 hours ago, Sculptor said: Hi all, and thanks to Steve, I am thinking about new seats and some other new hardware for our gen 2 VNL. I hope to revive this discussion for a short time. The only place near us with seats on display is the Kenly 95 truck stop. They have some but no Knoedler. Is there a place to order seats from that commonly has the best prices? Is it possible to find a sale at certain times of the year? Should I just plan to be at the next truck show wherever it is and buy from a salesperson? I'd definitely plan on one of the truck shows. Not necessarily to buy there, but at least to figure out what you want. MATS in Louisville (end of March/early April) is at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, and there are RV sites with hookups right there. GATS is at the convention center in downtown Dallas in August--I've camped at both Cedar Hill State Park and Loyd Park there. Cedar Hill is an easier drive, but only a few of the sites are really HDT friendly. For either show, you should be able to get free admission if you sign up in advance.

I have not been to the MATS that sounds like a good one to try. Dallas in August sounds rough but we have never been to Texas so it would be good from that standpoint. I found a show in Atlanta this month but the description says it’s aimed at fleet buyers. Probably nothing of interest for us there.

Dallas wasn't too terrible last time I was there for the show--don't get me wrong, it was hot, but manageable with shade at the RV parks. Louisville has ranged from hot to perfect to snow.
