Hi each, another newbie here.
In the throes of purchasing a 2018 T6 Leisuredrive lwb hard top vivante. First foray into campervans and had to go down the Vivante route to find a van i could drive and sleep iin as I'm 6' 8""..... .Having the front seats swapped for swivel/slide and height...
You loose the heightadjustment with the factory swivels. If you are tall, the seat is always in the highest position so could be an issue. I am not tall and find them too high for my comfort - just a point worth considering.
I would go aftermarket, albeit they sit slightly higher at their...
I have a pair of OEM T6 Highline captains chairs in simora fabric for sale. Drivers + Passenger
Seats both have:
armrests,
lumbar support
height adjustable
They are taken from my 2017 Factory Kombi at 44K miles. Seats are in excellent condition as I have always had Inka waterproof covers on...
Single front passenger seat and original seat base. Seat is a factory reduced height seat without heightadjustment or lumber adjustment, perfect for adding a swivel plate to. The seat has hard-wearing cloth (Marathon/Robusta) in Grey/Palladium with leather sides, back and headrest. Base is an...

Yes it can be done & has been by many inc myself.

What Have You Done To Your Van Today?
The wiring needs moving external to the seat base & a fly-lead made up with some external detachable connector (I used an XLR) some...
I fitted a Jennings double seat swivel today, I know there has been some interest in these so I thought I would post some pics and early thoughts. Please note: I haven’t owned or fitted a swivel before, so I have no reference point to make comparisons.
I ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived...
Good to see you’re sorted Violet. Good spec too. As for swivel seat. Pro on factory fit is it about the cheapest way of doing it. Downside if that you lose heightadjustment.
Just my 2p worth on the OEM swivels. In my van I have a OEM passenger swivel and a drivers seat with heightadjustment. Im nearly 6'1 and I measured the height of my seats. Strangely the drivers seat was set to the same height as the passenger seat (within a mm or 2)
Hi
Finally pressing the button on a t6.1 today. Dealer was pretty good and went through my chosen spec. Originally I’d gone for the double passenger seat, but he suggested most camper speccers opt for a single passenger swivel seat and a swivelling driver seat.
I’ve researched that now and...
As titled, these are as good as new. Only removed as I needed to fit the height adjustable version for my driving comfort. Been stored in a warm dry garage. £2000.
You can keep hold of the bench, as I have done, (in the garage), but your other half will thank you for the passenger captains seat! The bench left me and my other half with knees pressed up against the dash, and unable to stretch our legs out. The captains seat has height and forward/reverse...
I've fitted Sportscraft swivels under standard VW height adjustable captains seats without any problem. For the drivers side the best option is to have the handbrake bracket lowered (removed from the seat box and welded back on lower down) and trim the bottom off the plastic cover.
Rotating the...
Be Aware: if you order a van without the factory bulkhead, you must have Swivel seats. If you have Swivel seats, you cannot specify height adjust or lumbar support! Good old VW!
To be honest I'm doing this spec a bit blind, once I have a spec in mind I'm going to head to the dealers and see what they have in for me to look at and try, to see if I really need them or if there's anything I've missed.
Things I'm not sure I need are:
Parking assist
Heated seats
Towbar...
