Dear Dave, Rear seat is rated for three (three sets of belts), some campers come with slots to mount a two-passenger seat in the middle (and they can be installed in any camper). It's also possible (though probably never done) to install a three-passenger bench seat in front. I don't know whether the jump seat would conflict with the middle seat configuration, but but that would give a minimum capacity of six, easily achieved (middle seat) of seven, possible eight if the jump seat doesn't conflict with the middle, and maximum of nine if all the above played together nicely. Nine 180-pounders however would be substantially over the GVWR. Seven 150# might be within depending on camper curb weight. Yours, David |
