Some of your mods may gross out purists, but they are for YOUR use in
YOUR van, and that is what counts. Enjoy.
As far as the swivel seats go, bear in mind that the drivers seat will
only swivel part way, because of the steering wheel.

That shouldn't be the case...well OK, yea, if you have a camper interior
the driver's seat obviously won't swivel more than 90 degrees.

But, if not, there should be no issue with the driver's seat swivelling
180deg... except for part of the way thru the turn, when the rear of the
seat contacts the steering wheel, you slide the seat fully forward in
it's tracks, and set the seat in the most upright position and it clears
the wheel.
Then the rest of the swivel is completed and the seat is returned to the
original position in it's tracks which is now with the rear of the seat
closest to the steering wheel.

Even with the Terry K supplied centre console it is still possible to do
this without removing the console.
