Swivel Seat

I have a 2014 Coachmen Concord 300TS. I love it.
The driver's side swivel seat works like a charm. Passenger not so good. When I slide it to the side it catches on the lip of the floor. It doesn't go all the way back so I can't get it to turn around. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Not sure where you are catching on the floor. Mine has no issues. Here are a couple photos of my passenger seat turned on my 2018 DS and it still clears the floor lift into the coach area. Not sure if the TS does something different for the passenger slide with the slideout on that side vs the DS. I have about 2 1/2 inches clearance over the coach floor with lower part of the swivel bracket and then the seat moving forward (or backward in this case) even has more clearance. Hope this helps any.

Thank you for you post. When the seat is in the forward position, I unlock it to slide it to the rear diagonally. It will not slide all the way to the rear to get it to turn around so you face to the rear of the coach like you have. I hope I am saying everything right. just learning about my coach. I will try to take some pictures to show you. How do I post pictures? Will have to do it with my phone. How do I upload the pictures? I think I might have found how to upload.

On another note, I see you have a toad. You are towing a jeep wrangler. Is it 2 or 4 door? How does it tow behind your rig? I am thinking about getting a wrangler.

Thank you again so much. Safe travels.

Check to see if your seat bottom is catching on a plastic cover on top of the riser frame. One time one of the push buttons pupped up on mine and was catching some.
I usually have to crop my Iphone phone photos and then save them on my computer to prevent them from getting turned sideways when posted. If you hit preview post before submit, it will show what your post would look like and if your photos are attached.

So here are some of the pictures. It seems as the bottom of the chair frame is not clearing the threshold going into the coach. Kind of went side ways. Hope you can see. Thank you again

I see what your are saying Ktfjammer. My set up looks to be the same as yours. Here are some photos of mine. I have about a 1/4" clearance at the bottom of the slider bracket and the coach threshold. Only about 1/8" over the top of the screwheads. My chair has about an 1/8" of slack that I can move it up and down as well. Any chance someone put some wood flooring in your coach floor and raised the level? I noticed your metal stripping is budged a little. Any chance you can suck the trim down more with the screws?

Any chance you could shim the base up from the floor with some washers??

I agree there are 4 bolts holding the base down, remove the base and raise it up, is that a wood floor? You can also go to a big box store and find a thinner edge for the separation.

In my Lep, when I turned them around, I can move them to the back, towards the dash and have plenty of clearance. I don't know if Concords have the same seats.

I am having trouble with the drivers seat returning to face the windshield position. I will check the clearance, too.

I don't know that the clearance when you have the seats in the position facing backwards matters, at least in mine. In mine, I have to move the back seat in the most upright position, then move the seat base toward the front while still facing the rear. Then I need to move them at a 45 degrees toward the middle, and it is only then that I can turn them back to face the windshield. Maybe this is not the process in yours, but it is what I have been doing for over 4 years with no problems. Just in case this might help.
