Hi has anyone any experience in sourcing a company that can supply and fit an additional rear seat? I am looking at one that is removable and has the seat-belts integrated into it. I have found one company, but i am looking for a comparison.

Thanks

A chum has incorporated a T4 twin rear seat and runners into the 'load bay' of his camper, these have integral lapbelts, are adjustable, able to face forwards and backwards and removable.

Oooh, oooh, me too, me too! I would also like to do this, any chance of getting some detailed pics?

Nope sorry, not my van. You'd be better looking on ebay at the ex AA T4s or 'window van' T4s They have a pair of runners which can be removed from the floor if they are converted to a camper. My mate also planned to make a chest to fit to the same runners.

I may have found a viable solution, watch this space! I'll post pics when I can.

That's also a good idea, I like it!

@ OP

There are removable centre rows from Caravelles out there, but they only have lap belts. In fact I've got a grey CL cloth one here but you sometimes find that the folding backrest catches are faulty (crash damage I suspect, from the one I opened up)

Pity, it's a twin slider one...

My day job is driving a Crafter minibus which has 13 seats, all removable and fully equipped with seat belts. The 'bus is equipped with tracking to allow the seats to be removed and for wheelchairs to be secured in their place. Cutting the drivel, the tracking system is manufactured by a company named Unwin. A quick ebay search on Unwin brings the likes of this.......

I am actually in the throws of fitting Unwin tracking in my own vehicle, with adators on the middle row seats to allow moving, removing or turning as required. Just means removing that 80litre petrol tank to be able to bolt through the floor.
