We will be taking possession of a Autosleepers Broadway next March, it only has one armrest on each front seat, has anybody added a second armrest, is it much of a job, are armrest a only available from Peugeot?.

I hope you get a good reply as I would like to fit the second arm rest as well.

Only had a quick look at ours but I thought the lumber support adjuster gets in the way for another armrest

i would think the fittings are there on the seat frame, you may be able to feel them under the back rest material.
saying that, its a big risk cutting into the fabric and find theres only the basic stub once cut.
i would expect the armrests are factory only, not enough demand for a third party manufacture.

I've asked the same question of Wildax for my new Arora, coming in May...
...and yes @MikeD is correct in that the lumber support mechanism gets in the way...
...but, apparently they have managed it by fixing the lumbar support in position then fitting the additional armrest.
Obviously, you lose the lumbar support adjustability.

Yes it is only 2017 after all woudnt expect to get two arms and an adjustable lumber support at manufacturing stage, for at least another Half Milenium:xdoh:

I'm sure you could if willing to pay the price - most things are built down to a price, not upto a quality.
Somewhere along the line, the bean counters decided they could save a couple of quid by removing one of the armrests.

Having had 2 rests or cruisin pegs as we call them, on our Bolero, I will miss them if I cannot get them fitted.

I concur - if Wildax can't for some reason get additional armrest fitted to the supplied Citroen Relay seats - then I'll be springing for some aftermarket ones... It's an expensive 'forever' van so no point in spoiling the ship for a ha'peth of tar (IMHO).

With a bit of determination
you could take the backrest cover off
It's much like a pillow case
slipped over a shaped sponge rubber pad
to find out if an armrest mounting is fitted

Or take it to an upholsterer and ask the cost

Base vehicles only have one armrest, I took them off our 2012 Boxer and they are in the garage somewhere.

Base vehicles are often sold to the converters with no seats at all. Both of the coachbuilt motorhomes I have owned (one C class Adria and one A class Hymer) came with Aguti seats with 2 armrests that were fitted by the converter.
