Swivel seat base in Chev 4500/Sunseeker 2250
I had posted on this previously, but cannot find the thread in the archives. It appears RV.net doesn't return results between a year old and 2013... D'oh! So... Way back a few years ago I purchase...

Seems to me there would be a market for a combo base & swivel for the passenger seat, tailored to fit two models - The Chevy 2004-present Express/Savanna vans as we have, and the Ford E series. I'd bet they'd sell pretty well.
The drivers seat is usually not workable in a swivel configration, tho some floorplans would allow a drivers seat to swivel. Problem is, the steering wheel gets in the way!
IAMICHABOD, it's pretty easy to offset the base and swivel to reduce/eliminate the interference with the door. All you need is a drill & bits to move the base and move the swivel on the base, and a hack saw to bevel off the corners of the swivel. A file helps to de-sharpen the edges.
It's a lot more work to shorten the base, but a good welding shop could do it in an afternoon.
