Swivel seating in Class-C ?

[Tireman9]

We have a Coachmen Class-C MH built on a 2007 Chevy cut-away van chassis. We like the OE GM captain seats but would like to be able to swivel the passenger seat to face rearward when parked as that would give more comfortable seating than at the table bench seating.

The seat back is close to the "B" pillar so the center of rotation would need to be off-set or the seat would need to slide toward the center of the chassis I think.

Has anyone done this modification? If so where did you get the swivel base?

If you do a search on Google for "van swivel seat base" you'll find thousands of links, many to manufacturers of just what you're looking for. You could also look in salvage yards for custom vans that are equipped with swivel bases.

if you have airbags fitted in the cab of your class 'c' (one of the benefits over class 'a') then be very cautious of what effect moving the seats will have on airbag deployment.

Thanks for feedback. Found supplier in Calif. The swivel is only 2" high so airbag deploy should not be affected. They advertise that the item is approved to meet safety requirements.

Will post pictures when I get it and do the install in mid July

Ues keeping stock GM seats as they are quite comfortable.

You should be able to get seats at a junk yard but there are also aftermarket seats available.
