Okay, I'll check again but I think the mounting brackets might be there already.

Galley is down the driver's side.

Intention was a 3 point on the buddy and a lap or 3 point on the 3/4 rock n roll bed.

If the brackets are there and I buy the seatbelts my self, in ALL honesty how much of a job is it? Is it as simple as bolting some stuff on?

Ta for wanted tip, might give it a bash!

I have a 3 point belt you can have, if you cover postage or can try 80-90 express? Came with my van, still in its box.

I have a Westy with a "buddy seat" . It's storage box with a cushion fixed to the interior just inside the sliding door with 2 belt-buckle style straps. I presume this is a standard fitment that some of you will be quite familiar with. Surely I can't I use this as a legitamate passenger seat if I fit a seatbelt? Can I?

Is there some type of buddy seat that is safe to be used while the camper is in motion?

Thanks

That would be fantastic, thanks so much.

Happy to cover postage plus a few quid for a pizza & bottle of wine or something you might enjoy?

My buddy seat is pretty robust, it's a fixed base that swivels and is a proper seat iyswim.

Honestly, just postage is cool. I'll take it to the PO tomorrow if you PM your address. Be glad to see it used :)

Just got back from the show ourselves.

I ended up having a mobile fitter come out and got a 3 point on the bench and lap on the buddy. Quite pricey but worth it as I've got no idea how to do it myself!

He wouldn't fit the one you gave me tho Bean. Never mind!
