Great but tall
Product is well built and install easy. Came with the required new hardware (bolts). Mechanism works well. Only issue is that in reality it adds 1.5” height to the seat. Ok for now but in the long term I’m going to get another seat based and “chop it” to get seat back down to where it was or a little bit lower. I’ve seen where others have done this.

Eurovan Swivel Seat Adapters
Top Quality!! These are the real deal. German Sportcraft Model with Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt meets safety specs for Europe!! If you can read English, these seats are a piece of cake to install in less than 15 minutes. 4 hex bolts and 4 T-45 torx bolts and you are done. The key is to insert and start each bolt and tighten each just a little at a time, like a wheel, to line up all four bolts. Start with the front two and slide the seat forward to squeeze the rails if needed to insert rear bolts. Comes with all new mounting bolts. Ordered one and will now order the driver side. Just get over it and order both sides at once!!!

Works great. Solid design
Just installed this on the passenger side of my '03 Eurovan and I couldn't be happier. The adapter works marvelously. I had to call customer support (100% due to my own mistake) and they were super helpful and awesome. Thanks Eurocampers!

HEAVY duty
Really glad that VW is precise and so are these seat swivels. Everything lined up just right and the install was very easy. They rotate with ease, but also just enough resistance. That bit if resistance is important. Excellent product.

Great Product - Great Improvement - Easy to install
Bought a couple as open box items and they work great. Since the sale was final (no return), I called EuroCampers, and the lady assured me that these have been tested and should work just like the new ones. Indeed, they did. Installation was straight forward. What a great improvement after getting rid of the back-facing seats and installing these swivels!

Wife Approved!
I installed this on my 03 Weekender's passenger seat. I can leave it installed, and still connect the jump seat behind it. With the bed down, on our Weekender, my wife can sit comfortably in the middle of the night if she wakes up or is attending to our baby. It also really opens up the space in the back, with the bed down. The kids love it too, because it makes getting up top easier. As a comparison, the swivel base with safe model does not allow the jump seat to be attached.

Swivel adapter
Delivers on its purpose. Surprisingly heavy and well built. I did need to trim a mm or two off of the seat base so the swivel adapter screw holes would align. Easy installation even with that. Happy with the purchase.

Great Mod!
This adapter is super sturdy and heavy. It swivels very smoothly, and locks easily and securely in the forward facing position. I had to use a "ball end" hex key to get the front screws started--very little clearance on the front so I had to approach it at an angle to start it threading. Make sure you don't tighten everything down until all of the holes are aligned and have started to thread.

While the unit is stoutly made, and works well once installed, there were major stumbling blocks to installation, due to things not being properly aligned during manufacture. Be prepared for some struggles.

great product, easy install
Super sturdy base, and pretty easy to install. only issue is the lever isn't tight when locked, and can have a small rattle...but the eurovan already has enough rattle from other parts so it is fine :)

Simple install, minor difference in delivered product from picture
The base is very sturdy and goes in easily. We installed into our 2002 Weekender. My wife is 5 feet tall so she likes the extra seat height that the swivel creates. Only difference from picture is that the handle used to unlatch for rotation is not in front of the seat, it's on the side nearest the shifter. Not a big deal, just different than depicted on website.

Installation was relatively easy and the seat works really well. The height difference is not significant. This increased our seating options in our small motorhome.

Mr.
I installed in my 2003 Eurovan GLS in under 15 minutes with the included detailed instructions. Very high quality and easy to swivel. But passengers always comment on how high you sit up in the van (due to the increased height). I had to put some Dynamat under the swivel plate because it does rattle a bit over bumps in the road. But if you plan to camp in your van adding this swivel plate is a must!

This swivel base works great. The directions could be a little clearer, but it's pretty straightforward once you take a look. Very sturdy! Looking forward to the extra room it will create when we go camping. Really adds to the versatility of our 2002 Westfalia Weekender. I would recommend it to any Westy owner.

Swivel seat adapter for 2003 Euro Van front seat.
I really like the swivel seat adapter. It is very strong and sturdy. The direction were a bit vague. I had to read them 10 different times to actually complete the installation, other wise I really like this product.

This part is HEAVY DUTY! I was surprised when I first received it. Putting it in was eventually clear and easy once I stopped second guessing and followed the instructions to the letter. It works great, does put you up higher, I am 6"1' and it's not a problem.

Instantly more room
Just got this installed this week and looking forward to using it on a camping trip this weekend. Installation was simple; my daughter and I did it in less than an hour (probably less without the daughter ;-). The instructions were a little on the simple side. Could have used a little more detail, but pretty straight forward. Don't tighten the rear rail bolts too much and do it with the seat as far back as possible. The swivel has a slight angle on that area and if the rails are tightened down without care, they can become misaligned and make it difficult to slide the seat all the way back. My only complaint about the swivel is it's steel and very heavy; like a good 25 lbs. I think it could be made out of aluminum and made much lighter. We'll see if the wife likes the extra height on the drive tomorrow. Solid 4 stars.

Questions and Answers
Q:
Grateful to have received so quickly and had it installed by a friend yesterday. My only issue is that the seat takes some effort to rotate. Do I need to loosen the bog center nut? Or add oil to make this smoother. I know my wofe will not be able ti turn on her own. please advise. Many thanks
Asked by:
Jody Horton
- 6/11/2020
A:
It may take a bit of effort to get the center nut loose. It will take heat and a large wrench. You will need to use Lock-tite on the threads when you tighten it back up.

This question is answered in the product description. The swivel goes 1 inch below the top of the seat base so NO it will not work with the stock battery on the Weekender model.

Swivel seat adapter for 2003 weekender says you need to remove jump seat post for this to work. Looking at the jump seat post it is lower than the top of the existing seat base and doesn’t look like there would be an interference? Am I missing something?
Asked by:

A:
The rear facing seat bracket mounts on top of the seat base in the back. The bolts and bracket will not allow the swivel to sit over the base.

Q:
I previously asked a question about the seat swivel adapter for 2003 Westphalia weekender and the response was it doesn’t work with the rear jumpseat support post in place because the post is mounted on top of the front seat base. This is not the case for my 2003. The jump seat support is mounted on the floor adjacent to the front seat base and does not extend above the front seat base at any point. So still haven’t seen a good reason not to but one??

The rear facing seat bracket sits on the back of the seat base and will not allow the swivel adapter to install.
