Hi all, we’ve recently bought a Peugeot boxer 2014 L3H2 which was previously an ambulance/patient transport. When we got it it had no passenger seat only a wheelchair storage cage which we’ve replaced with a front bench seat, but due to it being a fixed seat with no recline and also because we want to be able to walk through to the back we want to change it for a single passenger or even a swivel seat. The problem is they seem to be like gold dust, have been searching high and low and can’t find anything reasonably priced. There are plenty of swivel captains seats for other vehicles at much lower prices, but is it safe to install a seat not intended for our vehicle? Also the bench seat doesn’t seem to come off it’s base so looks like we would have to buy a base as well. I would love to hear from anyone here who has had this problem with their Boxer and solved it, and also if anyone knows of somewhere other than eBay to find seats at a good price?

I was quite lucky with my Boxer in that my in laws in Poland sourced one and I had my parents bring the seat back in their motorhome after a family wedding. £100 and some beers for the hassle. I feel your pain in trying to source one in the UK!
Ah that was lucky! I’m getting sick of looking for one now, if I’d known I would‘ve bought a van with seat already in it !

You may be able to access ebay equivalents in other countries for example allegro.pl is a Polish one then arrange shipping. It's still likely to be half the price of the UK.
Looking for vans with two single seats would restrict too much and there would be other compromises.

I purchased one from ebay - £300 including swivel - it was still in the original plastic wrapping
2 bolts and a connector was all it took to change from the double to the single - but as it's awkward to carry the seats, I suggest you have someone to assist
The suppler purchases unused seats from motorhome converters and sells them on

That’s a great deal, can you remember who the seller was? I’ve looked and looked and can’t find anything like that on eBay
Have you tried Midland Leisure Supplies? He had a load in at one time, all brand new.
It’s a straight swop using the same bolt holes but when you do find a single seat you may have to remove the seat belt stork from the double over to the single one. Try Cabmasters for a seat.

the fixings are the same both sides so you can use a drivers base and mount a seat on that

I’m late to this as I’ve just joined. We’ve just swapped the double passenger seat for a single seat in our 2018 boxer. We used a drivers seat and base as it was much cheaper to buy a drivers seat than a single passenger seat as Mitzimad suggested. It was an easy swap, we fitted a swivel (RIB) at the same time. It’s made a massive difference being able to walk through and the seat is so much more comfortable too.

Just wondering about this as I'm going through it now. I can see that the bases would be the same but as I'm looking at my double seat, the seat belt attachment points are welded on to the frame(same with the drivers) and I don't see how they could be swapped using oem parts. Can you describe how you did that please?
Do you really want a single swivel seat. I have fitted a swivel to my double seat which means I can have 2 passengers and it does swivel. You should be able to find a double seat cheap and the swivel is from www.customshopdesigns.com
if you watch the video on how they work they used my van for the vid.

we used the nearest threaded hole on the opposite side of the drivers seat base and snaked the seat belt post from the original double seat through the plastic trim of the seat to position the seat belt buckle in the correct position.

Did you ever find seat?
I will be selling a seat that is virtually brand new, it was supplied by Vanbitz, (who couldn't have been more helpful and customer friendly) in early Jan 2020 but now I've fitted it (on the drivers side) I have realised that because the seat back swab is thicker ( and miles better ) than the Boxer Van seat it doesn't recline far enough for me because of the rear cupboard behind it (I am v tall) It has two armrests and the seat belt buckle is fitted on the left side, I have no idea if that can be placed on the other side . I have the original frame available as well but its from a 2017 Boxer. (I have purchased lowered frames for both seats and its kind of solved the issue with the original seat).
I'll post some photos , nice bit of kit (cost me £400) but with the seat, frame, buckle and armrests I will be advertising at £200.
It is three way adjustable , it doesn't have a lumbar support.
The seat has an adaptor base fitted for the Boxer , simple 6 torx nuts to fit to base . It would need to be buyer collects (its blinking heavy) or buyer arrange courier. If you are still looking feel free to ask any questions or make contact. Uzsnowdrop
Oh forgot to say it doesn't have the swivel fitted, they are available from Vanbitz.
(Just for info, I have fitted a rear facing seatbelt buckle onto the other side of the new lowered passenger seat frame for a clip in dog restraint lead,(Photo 2) I bought it off e bay for about 12 quid and it looks brand new so it should be easy to find one.

Any seat will do so long as it's bolted down good and strong.
I was crying laughing at the cost of a single seat. About £500. I'd rather go on holiday, thanks! The cheapest was £120, for which you go no fabric cover, and ripped and heavily soiled foam.
So I did the only sensible thing...
I took and angle grinder to the double bench seat.

Hi Abi, I did exactly the same to a 2014 Peugeot boxer in 2016.
I bought two swivels from Magnum Motorhomes (very helpful bunch) and a single seat from eBay (a seller in Manchester converting vans)
The fixings for a single seat is exactly the same as the double.
Sorry I can't give you more details of cost etc but it may give you a direction to look in.
Good luck

Hi Abi

Anyone know if VW T4/T5 (180 base) will fit in a 2002 Boxer Pioneer?
There's a guy selling what were rear swivel seats (single and double, with integral belts) in a VW that I fancy for front in my Boxer

oops - first post newbie!
how do you delete them?

Don’t think so, but if you are interested in buying a double passenger seat with swivel out of a Citreon then I will be selling mine as soon as a single seat arrives, wife struggles to manage the double.
Take a look at www.customshopdesigns.com for photos of my my van with seat installed.
Thanks. I may well be if it fits!
That site has many many pages and can't see a Citreon - do you have a direct link or an image?
For some reason my iPad will not copy and paste the link, but go to products, Ducato/relay swivel seat page and then look at the photos underneath, mine is the light coloured board showing photos with the swivel in different positions.
