Removable steering wheel

Does anyone know of a removeable steering wheel for a Freightliner chassis? We have a 2000 Dutch Star, and the steering wheel prevents the driver seat from turning around to the living room. A removeable wheel ,like can be found for race cars would make a big improvement. We had one in our sailboat and it made a huge difference in the cockpit when anchored or at dock.

If you jockey the seat just right you can get it to turn around. There are other threads that describe the procedure. It is a PIA so we just put a table top on the wheel and then slide the seat forward.

EASY once you learn how.
1/ Wheel all the way up and forward toward the dash.
2/ Seat all the way FORWARD toward the dash.
3/ Seat back all the way forward toward the dash.
4/ Arm rests DOWN.
5/ Spin the seat around.

We had a 2001 DSDP and had to learn. The drivers seat and passenger seats all spin around once you learn how.

Tednruthy, thank you for that piece of information, works great. Moving the seat all the way forward just didn't compute in my defective 3D brain programming.
