there are 3 different full camper seating options.

rear facing jumpseat from a carat or wolfsburg, installed behind the LF seat.
 mounting this does not interfere with swival, and they come w/ seatbelts.
not heavy.  negative: comes in grey only..

 single or 2 person middle seat, installed on sliding floor tracks (you may
have to install the tracks if you van did not come with them, they were only
stock on some 84-86 campers in the US - but all vanagons and campers come with
the pre-drilled and pre-threaded holes in the floor to accept these tracks)
comes w/ seatbelts.  slides out.  the single seat comes on a lockbox and has a
swival base and can be mounted anywhere on the tracks as to not interfering with
fridge access.  the 2 person middle seat has seatbacks that flip forward and
can be mounted either facing front or rearwards as in "booth style" seating.
come in grey, tan, or blue.   the negative: heavy, and must slide the 2 person
middle seat out to acess fridge.

jumpseats remove simply with the pull of a single knob.   sliding middle
seats slide out on the floor tracks.
 i have both for sale if your interested.
