Having started our wish list we wanted to have vinyl covers on the main cushions and were surprised by the quotations we were receiving !! however I chanced upon an e-bay item offering upholstery for caravans etc.
Contacted the seller and was more than happy with the offer that came back, initially their quote was for brown vinyl or two colour vinyl in certain colours but of course not in the colours we wanted, however I have listed below the brown or two tone quote.
72"x24"x3" vinyl cover with zip only £32 each
24"x24"x3" vinyl cover with zip only £25 each
So roughly a couple of hundred to do all cushions, I dont think thats bad.
I expect it will be a bit more in the colour we want but I would think not a lot more.

The Slightly Delayed Big 60th+1 Birthday Party of the Portafold (12th International Portafold & Ansfold Gathering) (i.e. 2021)
Help us set a new world record at the huge 60th+1 birthday party!
Ironically, the current record is 59 Portafolds and Ansfolds (we set that at the 2016 Newbury Retrofestival), so we want to smash this by getting well over 70 there this time. We have a lovely area that will take that number of caravans and the show itself is a fantastic event that will not disappoint. There really is something for the whole family.
So put the dates 13th, 14th, 15th of August 2021 in your diary now and get those dates booked off work early. Be part of a record breaking event that will go down in history.
Show Address: Newbury Showground, Priors Court, Hermitage, Thatcham, West Berkshire, RG18 9QZ
Don't book direct with the show organisers, just contact me (07771544419) to get your pitch saved.

Cushion Covers
Re: cushion covers
Derek,
Although the brochures state the cushions were 24" by 24", they were actually smaller and rectangular, I think it's been mentioned before on the forum but you need them smaller otherwise they won't fit properly when you pack away.
Also, are you sure you want to have vinyl covers? Whilst they'll be practical, personally I wouldn't want to sleep on them, they'll be very sweaty. I'd go for a traditional upholstery material in a good retro print if you can find it.

Thanks for reminding us about sweaty sleeping, didn't even give it a thought, your right of course doesn't sound good so I am sure we will find something in a similar colourway but more suitable material.
