Does anyone know where new covers for the cabin cushions for the Mac 25' can be purchased or made? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I bought mine at the fabric store.
If you take your covers to a seamstress you can get them made relatively inexpensively. I make my own and it doesn't take a lot of skill. Unstitch the covers and you can save a lot of labor. Reuse the zippers. I have also seen post here where guys have use plywood on one side and stapled the covers to that. If you foam is still usable you might want to add another inch layer of memory foam to the topside. I used 3" foam and it makes a big difference. Here is a link to an on line fabric store that is extremely reasonable. Frank

Frank, I will drop mine off tomorrow ;D
Auto upholstery shops do this kind of work all the time, a big part of the expense is the foam, if yours is salvageable you are ahead of the game. Frank is right about doing it yourself, it helps to have a heavier duty machine, check out sailrite for ideas and materials. Frank I will call you in the morning about what time to meet up. Tim

Duck cloth
My Mom is doing mine right now. I had just asked her to basically make slip covers for them, but she decided to do it just like Frank stated by undoing the seams, and reusing the zippers and vinyl bottoms. I bought blue Duck Cloth from a local JoAnn fabrics (don't forget your 40% off coupon). I'll have to get back to you on the comfort level of them. She said she is using a needle meant for sewing jeans and a heavy thread. Good Luck, hopefully you know someone who likes to sew.
