Swivel seats in Ford Class C

Those of you who have swiveling cab seats in late model Ford Class C's, how usable are they? I know it would depend somewhat on furniture not interfering. I'm wondering about the cab itself. Do the seats clear the cab sides well enough, etc etc?

Steer wheel has to be all way up, seat back reclined as far as possible and the driver door open then still the steer wheel is in way so I see no use for it to swivel, would prefer adjustable electric seat. Passenger seat can be turned and the guy we bought from said he liked it but agreed on the driver side. another thing you will be below the dinette level when in use. In a class A they would hold some value, but in a C ?????.


    I'll second that. Too low to be of any real value. If there was a flat floor rather than a drop to the cockpit they would be ok - but that drop eliminates any usefulness.
  • We have them in our Leprechaun and they do sound like a good idea but ours are pretty much useless. The passenger seat backs up to the dinette so there is no place to turn to with it. The drivers seat could possibly be used but it is so low that it is of no value to me, perhaps a kid would like it though. It is also a wrestling match to get it turned. I would save the money to buy gas if I had it to do over.
