A slight modifickation to the seat and EuroVan seats with all their features
slip right on.

Korkin has Subaru seats I believe.

Most of the recaros do not have armrests.  They can be mounted though.  The
top of the line recaros have all sorts of air conditioning, electronic
memory positioning, lumbar lumber, front back up and down and round and
round.  Not all is necessary or desirable.

The seats of yore, namely the old L-seat has pull out thigh supports a
moderate shape and bolsters and enough adjustment to suit most folks.  Alas
the yore seats are only rarely available and you will need a recaro adapter
for the vanagon to mount em.

One seat should do for those of us without passenger side navigation aids.

Looking back into my trove of fading literature, I find them available at a
kings ransom for 1974.

Search for Recaro Ergonomic seats for the full skinny on their voluminous
feature set and price.
