Chaos in the camper: Swivel seat problems cause discontent in the scene!
The camping season has begun and many travelers are setting off with new motorhomes. But the anticipation is sometimes clouded by technical problems. An example of this is a couple who recently purchased a new motorhome and had to go to the workshop just a few days after purchase with a broken turntable on the passenger seat. They reported that the instruction manual did not provide enough information on how to rotate the seat safely, resulting in a frustrating situation.
After the service representative informed them that the seat was not allowed to be rotated, the camper expressed her concerns on Facebook about the tight space that made releasing the lever a challenge. The discussion about rotating seats in RVs has gained momentum on social networks, with different experiences being shared. Some campers report no problems at all, while others recommend making sure no one is sitting on the seat when turning.
Comfortable use of space in the motorhome
Space in mobile homes and vans is often limited. Therefore, optimal use of space becomes even more important. With seating and swivel consoles that allow seats to rotate up to 360 degrees, travelers can create a comfortable seating area that can accommodate multiple people. Companies like Fritz Berger offer an extensive range of such products, including rotating consoles from well-known manufacturers such as Sportscraft and Perex, which are both robust and durable.
The advantages of swivel consoles are versatile: they enable flexible use of space and can be used with both original and sports seats. Many of the models are designed to pivot on the center, which encourages the conversion of a driver's seat into a social seating area. In addition, height-adjustable swivel seats provide additional comfort while driving and camping.
Important information before purchasing
The assembly of seat and swivel consoles is usually easy and is well described in the accompanying instructions. If desired, the installation can also be carried out by a professional. Before purchasing, it is advisable to check whether the required accessories are available for the specific vehicle. Various models not only offer practical holders and compartments in the cab for additional storage space, but also ensure pleasant temperatures thanks to integrated heaters and air conditioning systems.
For campers who like to travel, it is advisable to do thorough research and get precise advice before purchasing. This way, potential problems like the ones the couple in question experienced with their new motorhome can be avoided. Easy handling of the seats and a well thought-out spatial concept contribute significantly to comfort when traveling.
