Seat Belt PIA$$

[RVFunlovers]

The tension on my 22 coach drivers seat belt seems tighter than our 17.
It is annoying and feels like the belt is just too tight.

We have tried pads but the belt is still to tight.

Personally, I can handle a tight seat belt as long as the belt does not lock and pin me to the seat and is not pulling across my neck. That part of the restraint is called a shoulder strap not a neck strap.

The chip clip from the park brake is what we use to give a little slack so that the seatbelt does not rub on the neck. Works great!

While in our car in Canada we took an exit with a curve. Mountie standing by the stop sign. I have my belt on but DW had it down off her shoulder. He said by law u had to have it over your shoulder. I told the passed a law that u had to wear it but never passed a law they had to be comfortable. He just told her to put it on right.

The length is around a foot which puts the male buckle end up on my hip instead below and behind my butt. That allow the shoulder strap to cross my torso and rest across my shoulder instead across my neck as it should.

Are you sure this is the correct link, it points to a different product for me.
I think the 9" extender would be perfect, but I can't find it now?

I posted the link for what purchased but now that link points to something else. It even shows the incorrect item in "Your Orders"

Try this link for a similar item.

I passed this up because it said was 14" long. If it is not right you should be able to return.

I also passed it up because of the length of time for delivery. In my experience the extended time is a red flag for potential delivery time much longer than the Amazon listing says.

You could also try this company.

I would call I think they could match up the buckles on your coach.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I see the 14" one now. I measured, and it looks like the 9" would be perfect, I think I'm going to have to try and find that somewhere else as you suggest, i'll try seatbeltextenderpros.
You have a good point, how do we know what is compatible? Since this is a rolling house, i don't suppose it would line up with any particular vehicle.
I'll see what they say and post back if I find anything.

Here is a reference photo comparing the extender and the OE male end of the buckle. Extender on the left.

Interesting, and this is the 14" version, and that's not too long for you?

I tried contacting Seatbelt Extender Pros, they were very nice but didn't think any of their products fit the Entegra. I provided a photo with measurements.

Thank you so much for sending the photo. We're very familiar with this seat belt design. I'm sorry to have to share this, but unfortunately there is not a click-in extender available for this seat belt.

I do have some good news, though: we have another product that may work well for your needs. Since you were looking to extend the seat belt in your front seats, please consider our Bolt-in Extender. It is easy to install and adds about 13 inches of extra length to the retractable portion of your seat belt.

You can learn more here:

If there is anything else at all I can do for you, please don't hesitate to let me know.

The "bolt-in" extender seems to extend the belt (left), not the buckle (right), so it's not what I'm looking for.

Now I just want to get it to see, maybe they don't sell this one.

All that does is lengthen the belt. that is not what you need. What is needed is to move the latch end by the drivers right hip higher and forward. which will move the shoulder strap a little left.

How's this for a problem that solves yours - as my 2002 Travel Supreme did not come with an integrated shoulder harness, although I found endless captains chairs with this feature no one would sell it to me. My VIN didn't indicate it came with one, so the assumption is the seat mount wouldn't take the extra stress of a body belted both lap and chest. I tried many venues - same answer. DOT said it was a safety issue but I maintain were I in a crash so severe as to rip the seat off the floor, I'm already dead. In a lesser, more likely situation, I'll end up crushing my ribs on the steering wheel with only the lap belt. There is no structure over the driver's left shoulder to attach an aftermarket shoulder harness, so because of this inane safety rule I am at risk every time I drive. Get a pad for your shoulder and stop whining.
