What's needed is an after-market RV cab seat swivel mechanism that also has adjustable height.
Many Class C motorhomes have a coach area with a bit higher floor than the cab floor so as to, among other reasons, provide taller/larger outside storage areas. So a swiveled seat needs to also be raised to make it's seating position as close as possible the same as other seats in the coach area. There is enough head room in the cab area to have a swiveled passenger seat be temporarily raised a bit higher when facing back and still not have it's occupant hit their heads on the cab ceiling or cabover bed bottom. We usually even have the rearward section of our cabover bed shoved forward and stacked up on top of the forward section of the bed when not using the bed, so there is of course plenty of headroom above the passenger seat should it be swiveled to the back and raised at the same time.
If not raised - just try getting out of a swiveled seat onto the coach area floor when the coach area floor is 3-5 inches higher than the cab area floor. It's pretty tough unless you're a kid ... especially if the good old knees aren't those of a kid.
