My next XL 369 question

Is there any "trick" or method for turning the drivers seat completely around to face the living room? My drivers seat has an electric foot rest so I would assume that's what its designed for. I've tried to manure it around and its a huge pain in the rear so I was hoping someone here had a trick to do it. The steering wheel regardless of how its adjusted just gets in the way. I have not tried the PAX seat yet, that's on todays list of shakedown trip items to do list.

Adjust the seat back to vertical and the whole seat as far back as it will go and steering wheel as far up as it will go. Put the armrests pointing straight up. Then turn the seat clockwise as far as it will turn to be straight towards the back of the coach you may need to readjust the seat forward towards the back once you get it close to being where you want it. Avoid any manure hehehe Btw, what's the electric foot rest for?

I also end up lowering the seat as low as possible before making it turn.

NOT ALL DRIVERS SEATS WILL TURN AROUND.

This has been discussed for years.

I’ll just sit on the side and watch this thread. 🍿🍿

My seat has to be as far forward as it will go and the back as straight up as it will go before it will spin around.

Be sure your wires under the seat are not zip tied in a bundle. If they are you will find resistance AND you ll pull the wires apart from connectors - this happened to me

Does your seat have a manual recline lever? On mine I have to
1. Slide seat all back and rotate as described above.
2. Pull the recline seat lever and push the seat back forward to complete the rotation
3. Slide seat forward (towards the rear of the coach) to allow room for a comfortable seated position.
Good luck!
