We do not like the seats that came with it, right now the wife is having some back pains from our trip. I am going to look for seats out of an F2-350 to replace these seats. No real support, the big claim to fame is that they turn around for additional seating!

Again to me biggest thing is to improve the seat. As to a chebby, I drive school buses and last year drove a 3500 cutaway. Same problem with the seat as I have with these fancy ones. Room is marginally better IMO. Just have to find what you like and go from there. I will be looking for some electric seats, saw some in a Jayco Melbourne and then the other day in another Jayco. Good side bolsters and fully electric. Granted you will adjust 1 or 2 times but to get it right!

Phoenix USA gets it's seats from Paul's Seating Inc. HERE. We ordered a 3rd matching captain seat "Lexus" to replace a barrel seat inside the rig. They are offered with and without manually adjustable lumbar support. You can order none, one, or both armrests as your rig requires. I recall the armrests and lumbar were all very cheap so we got it all for our third seat. Total including delivery to the house was $400 about 5 years ago. They can make them to any color swatch you give them to work from. There are two rail dimensions, I think maybe 8" for a pedestal and 11" for the front swivel and power seat bases, for direct bolt-down replacement onto your existing bases.

The seat in the picture is the one we ordered 3 years after we bought our rig. It is identical to the seats up front. People on the Phoenix Cruiser forum thought our older Lexus seats were hard on their back though the seats were not equipped with adjustable lumbar. People like the later seats Phoenix installs for their back troubles, I think the Excursion. If ordering, be sure to get the adjustable lumbar. I want to say each armrest was $10 and lumbar feature was $15, but don't quote me on it.
