I put some heated leather Audi bucket seats in a Vanagon once. It was a lot of work as some structure on the bottom of the seat has to be removed.

if you look at car seats in general, you'll notice vanagon seats don't have much structure under the cushion area at all. They sit very down on 'the floor' .which is really the top of the inner fender area for the front wheels.

Many seats are too thick on the bottom.

I've done Volvo 740 leather front seats too .. same thing..lots of work to remove understructure first.
