There is an alternative to swivel seats. For many years of camping in my '81, I would just pull the passenger seat forward, reverse it and put it back on facing backwards--perfect for camping. If I was camping alone, I'd leave it that way the whole trip. With digi-wife along, I'd reverse it each day for the driving. Now that I have a Westy, I have found (a) the swivel of the drivers seat worthless and (b) the swivel of the passenger seat convenient. That's not too far ahead of my '81. ;-) I do like the compartments under the '81 seats. I use the drivers seat for storage when camping. Richard A.
