Hi, first post so please be kind 😁 

We have just taken ownership of an Autotrail 632 2012 model and would like some additional scatter cushion that have the nice red silky backing and same pattern as the bench seats on the front. 

Autotrail say that pattern is no longer available.  

Any options to have them sourced or made elsewhere please?

    Hi, OGO, and welcome.

    If you check the undersides and just inside the zips of your upholstery you may well find a maker's name and/or pattern name/number which could help. There are specialist LV upholsterers who advertise in the club's magazine (Regal is a name which springs to mind) and they might be able to help. 

    Autotrail should be able to tell you who supplied the originals as I very much doubt the cushions were made in house.

    Hello and welcome 😃

    Not sure I can help on the original material but it should be easy enough to get a decent match for silky red fabric and then choose a complimenting front panel to go with the original pattern. Cushion inners are easy to obtain and cushion covers straight forward to make up so shouldn't be too costly if it's not something you can turn your hand to. You might even choose to have them larger or smaller than the original as a design feature 😉. Of course you could choose something completely different that will tone in with the existing.

    If you live or are able to visit an Abercan, N Wales. establishment, they have hundreds of material and the make curtains so I think they may make a few covers in a similar material.

    I completely change mine , including the tie backs.

    I would certainly follow up TW's suggestion of trying the original  manufacturer if you can get the contact details. To make things a bit simpler, if that line of investigation is unsuccessful, why not go for a plain fabric picking out one of the colours of the original coverings of the seats? You would have a whole range of High Street names that would have a selection. Both our previous and current motorhomes had a similar solution in that they had single colour scatter cushions which picked out one of the colours or in our case each pair was made up of a single colour each but both contrasted with the material covering the bench seats.

    As others have said, if the original supplier or specialist route doesn’t work out, you should be able to get something from a local upholsterer. Marine upholsterers, too, are worth checking out.

    Be adventurous and brave and simply buy some cushions that compliment the upholstery. It will be a much cheaper option and You might be surprised how good it looks. I never get this need to match everything.
