Steve, the big question is do you have seat rails for a middle seat in the floor of your bus? Many do. Your seat options are as follows:

1. Folding, theatre style seat from one of the upscale models (Carat & Wolfsburg). This would mount behind the front passenger seat.

2. Middle row single captains chair. This was a factory option.

3. Two seater bench from a 7 passenger bus.

Options 2 & 3 require middle seat rails.

Options 1 & 2 are much harder to find and are more expensive.

I think you will be pleased with any of the options. We got a two seater bench (option 3) and love it. It installs and uninstalls in less than 5 minutes. We have even used it camping. At destination we have it just outside the door under the awning. It is the most popular chair at any campground.

Don't sell the bus.
