Swiveling driver and passenger chairs.... - Page 2

jmck1737 · 05-24-2018, 10:31 AM

Well with your encouragement I went out and played with my drivers seat and amazingly after moving the seat back forward and lowering the power seat and moving it in and out as needed the seat swiveled. I have noticed the slight forward lean and am going to follow the suggestion and either put a spacer or a nut in to raise it slightly.

And that's why I love this forum! Learn so many good tips and tricks!

Glad it worked out for you!

I’m hearing some people having success turning both seats around.

However, re-reading this thread, the common factor of those being able to turn the driver’s seat around is that they have power seats.

My seat is not powered......guess that’s why.

kenandterry, as a newbie so to speak I am not sure of the power vs manual seats. I did move mine up and back to gain clearance. Not sure why you couldn't manually move it forward and back as needed to spin around. It might be a little more cumbersome to accomplish though. I had given up on spinning ours until I read this thread and then just spent some time time playing with it to get it to work. Wish I could help more.

If I’m already hitting the steering wheel at 90 degrees with the seat position on the track as far back as possible, how is moving the seat as far forward as possible as a first step going to help?

The only way I can see my seat turning all the way around, would be to have it positioned 6 feet back! Then I could not only turn it around, but recline the seat back and take a 😴

I too turn my passenger chair toward the window, put the seat belt around the back

OK Carol
You now have to a video showing everyone how to turn the drivers seat 180 degrees facing back.
Use your cellphone.

Iggy, what is the search name to find this video? If I can't figure it out then hopefully when we go over my rig we can do it together, all I got when I tried was a scuff mark on the back of my drivers seat! LOL

Will do Iggy once my eye gets less blurry and the threat of infection passes. I'm sure my rig is starting out 25 to 30 degrees cooler than yours due to being under cover but BOTH AC's will be blasting regardless, that's what new generators are for!

I did a video on my iPad but the server won’t recognize the format....gggrrr I’ll try from my laptop to see if I cam get it into a different format...

ckrkrovers · 07-27-2018, 07:33 AM

Hi Iggy,
I would be happy to try and video that! I will try Saturday when hubby is here, if someone can do it sooner that's ok to.
We had tried all sorts of things on ours but I read info to hubby and he followed and ta da first time we have ever been able to turn it.

Iggy or anyone, I have the video and it says it loads it but then I can't get it onto a post, can anyone help. Lol I can turn my chair but I can't post the video! It's an mp4 and not very big, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

What format is it and what is the size in megabytes?
Also if you are using Windows 7 and IE11 Browser it will not work.
Only Google Chrome and a few others only for videos.

ckrkrovers · 07-29-2018, 03:30 PM

It's 53.44 mb, an mp4 and done on my android phone. I'd be happy to email it to someone if they can get it posted. It uploads but then does nothing, it's probably me.
