The front seats appear like they will turn around to become recliners. Move and everything. I just cannot get them to completely turn around. Is there a trick?

Are Ford, Chevy and Mercedes Benz Sprinter all the same front seats? Not likely. I know that some Ford seats swivel but do not become “recliners” in Class C or B+ units as there is no foot rest. I have seen a swivel reclining front seat with a foot rest on the passenger side of a Class A though. So they do exist.
Maybe if you share your model and year you can get more specific info.

Don't know if you've got swivel seats or not.

We have them in our REV and I had to read the RAM owners manual to figure out how they work. There's no apparent lever, but I found that part of the seat that is the lever illustrated in the truck manual.

If you have a Ford E-450 chassis the "trick" is to move the seat towards the center of the cab before trying to rotate it. It won't rotate when still close to the cab wall.

If you have the power drivers seat it does not rotate...

It is a Class A Ford Georgetown ForestRiver. Bot seats have panel to allow recliners. But will not rotate all the way around. It even has a lever to allow to rotate. But the area to do this is to small.

OK. Class A MH’s do have a recliner option. However I don’t know what you mean by “panel to allow recliner”. Can you post a photo?

Edit: We can figure out why you posted in Forester section later or a site team member could move this to the Georgetown section.

coach, you posted this in the Forester sub-forum, not the Georgetown sub-forum.
Your MH model is a Georgetown, not a Forest River.
Forest River is the parent company with many divisions.

Moving to the Georgetown sub-forum and editing title.

yes it is possible
This question has been asked a million times.

Passenger -
1 Pull seat all the way forward (lever under front of seat).
2. Push lever under right side of seat forward and rotate.

Driver -
1. Adj steering wheel all the way forward.
2. Push seat all the way back.
3. Put the left armrest down and adj the seat back all the way forward.
4. Push the rotation lever and rotate the seat clockwise.
5. You will have to force the seat back pass the steering wheel but it will go.
6. Pull the seat forward and readjust the seat back against the steering wheel.


Please do some searching and reading here.
