Replacement Seats Suggestions???
Hello everyone, new RV owner here. We just purchased a used Coachmen Leprechaun last year and my only gripe is with the Driver and Passenger seats, as they aren't comfortable and dont have enough adjustment options.
Anyone know where I can find E350 replacement seats?
I've tried google, and eBay already as well as looked locally. I'm looking to see if anyone might have any info on if there might be universal type seats available.

National Seating manufactures air ride seats for big rigs. They have a self contained (does not need vehicle compressed air) that hand pumps for height and has the usual slide and reclines. The seat would bolt to the floor but I can not say for sure that it would fit an E-350.
There is a forum group for Ford Trucks which might give you a place to search.

Go to a You pull it yard and look for a Ford Passenger van. The higher end models have some really nice seats.

This is a pretty common problem. My seats are terrible new. Not sure if my ample backside has beaten it into submission yet in 9k miles, but it might have softened up some. I bought expensive seat pads. Made me feel like an old fogey, but it sure seems to have worked. I use an Airhawk, and my wife uses a Purple. We're both satisfied. These are not cheap solutions, but I didn't want to deal with the trial-and-error of finding a seat that would fit in the small area we have to work with. Both our seats have bulkheads behind them, so the overall size of the replacement seat would be a somewhat critical thing.

1) Seating is personal, so your answer maybe best found w/ an upholstery shop, after you determine WHAT is uncomfortable, and what arrangements are needed to resolve? 2) We have several thousand miles on ours now, many 12-hour days and find seats quite comfortable, BUTTTTTTTTT.... when received, (our then 18yo rig) passenger seat would only recline about 1-2-inches before hitting my barrel chair... after investigation, I finally determined that barrel chair would not hardly move either, hardly rotate or slide, and then realized it was installed backwards on the pedestal base. After installing correctly, it now slides about 10-inches and rotates greater than 90-degrees, but also the passenger seat also now reclines enough for comfort. p.s. I suspect flooring installer made the error on the chair after removing carpet and installing laminate wood.
