The seat tracks are the same, but the seats are not.  The camper seat
bases are shorter in height to compensate for the height of the swivel
mechanism, and they are shorter in length to clear the doors and
cabinets while rotating.  If you are very tall, you may be satisfied
with a passenger seat on the swivel base.  at 5' 8", I cannot
comfortably operate the clutch.  I removed the driver's side swivel
base on my Westy to allow use of the more comfortable (to me)
passenger model seat.
