paul_richardson Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I know it's a trivial issue, but after every journey we have to tidy up the back of the 'van. The seat backs fall over and knock the scatter cushions onto the floor and we have to pick everything up and put it back in place. Has anyone got a brilliant idea how to keep the seat backs in place when travelling? Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Mine all have velcro on the back to hold in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brambles Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 ...and another option is slow down a bit and do not drive like there is no tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Robbo - 2016-09-24 7:33 PM Remove the scatter cushions - the clue is in the name :-D That won’t stop the seat-back cushions falling over though... ;-) As has already been advised, the method commonly employed by motorhome manufacturers is to glue hook-and-loop (Velcro) strips to the surface behind a seat-back cushion and to glue (or stitch) hook-and-loop strips to the seat-back cushion itself. The latter may prove tricky to carry out retrospectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will86 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 1. Put all the loose items on the floor before driving off. 2. Store everything at the back then you only move them once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_richardson Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi Guys, Thanks for your advice. Not sure if I can add Velcro at this stage, but it seems to be the common solution so I'll see what I can do. Thanks again, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Collings Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The Velcro is available with self adhesive backing. A roll is part of my vans spares kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Self-adhesive hook-and-loop tape is widely available https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=hook+and+loop+self+adhesive but it’s intended to adhere to a hard flat surface. My Rapido motorhome’s seat cushions are retained in place by hook-and-loop strips, with long wide self-adhesive ‘hook’ strips stuck to the flat wooden furniture-board behind the cushions and ‘loop’ strips sewn on to the fabric material on the rear of the cushions themselves. The hook and loop strips grip very strongly to each other and, if self-adhesive strips were used on the cushions’ fabric, I’m sure they would pull off when the cushions needed to be moved. If the cushions had flat wooden backs, then self-adhesive tape should be OK. Double-sided hook-and-loop tape is also available https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=hook+and+loop+double+sided I use it to temporarily tether the shower-hose to the shower riser-rail to stop the hose swinging about while the motorhome is being driven.
