Double swivel seat

[jaymrobertson]

Hi , I’m new here as just purchased a 6 berth motor home based on a 2010 transit . We have 4 belted seats but would like to install a double swivel passenger seat. The problem seems to be that there are 2 leisure batteries below this seat which raises it up and the conversion kits don’t fit.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Have never seen one so might mean it’s not that common so reply’s might be thin

What's a double swivel seat?

I think my daughters T6 camper conversion has one

not that that will help you much with a Transit but maybe a VW forum might shed more light

What's a double swivel seat?

I assume it’s the standard 2 seat that’s in transit etc that swivels, only guessing

Hi, they are common fitments on the floor with no batteries and bolt straight on. I might have to move the batteries I guess

They are , work the same as a single captains chair.

Try Kiravans for seat swivels. They do some for double seats for some vehicles. You would need to check if there is sufficient clearance for the seat to actually swivel. As you say you might need to relocate the batteries.

Sorry, but I couldn't help myself with my previous post.

To actually try and help now I understand what you mean though...On a transit base vehicle, are you sure you are going to have enough forward clearance to give the seat space to revolve? Certainly on a single, yes, but with a double you need to account for that extra width that is going to revolve around the central pivot point.

Hi, called them today and they do one to fit on floor but not raised.

they do make on that bolts onto the floor and has a slide mechanism that allows you to turn it. But not on a raised base.

Try Customshopdesigns.com. Theyare based in Accrington and have designed their own Double swivel kits. The video of the Citroen Relay shows my own van.
Look under products for correct kit.

We looked at a double swivel seat on a renault trafic base , it looked a bit of a pain to be honest, really really faffy.
Thought about a single captains chair as a pax seat?

Check out mine on Customshop designs, they don’t swivel from one central point it moves sideways whilst turning so the seat clears both the door and dashboard.

Any old mitsubishi delica L400 8 seater had a double swivel seat in the middle row. With a fold up seat bolted on. You could find one in a scrapyard and see if it could be modified to fit as required.

The batteries and associated wiring would definitely need relocating to fit the double seat and swivel. The bolt holes are already in the floor as standard

If you were near Bournemouth, there was a transit double seat swivel for sale locally on facebook within the last week or so
