For those not already aware, the Elkhart area is the "Mecca" of the RV
industry in the US.
I have been to most of the above places. The greatest selection in
seats I've found is at Stateline Salvage. As most of the above places
handle, Stateline markets "take outs" from vans, etc., undergoing the
conversion process. It is located a half mile N of the Middlebury exit
on the IN Toll Road. State Rd 13 changes to US 131 in MI.
