Vivaro Campervan Seat Swap Fitting Mazda RX8 Seats & Swivel Base

In this video I remove the original seats from a Vauxhall Vivaro that is undergoing a campervan conversion and in the place, I fit some Mazda RX8 leather seats with the passenger seat being fitted to a Swivel base. The Mazda RX8 leather seats are in really nice condition, the drivers seat is fully electric with the passenger being manually controlled. Once the passenger seat is mounted to the swivel base, the seat can turn to face the rear of the conversion for added living area seating and relaxing. The newly fitted seats transform the interior of the Vauxhall Vivaro and make it much nicer to look at and sit in.

Love how this conversion build is coming together.The swivel leather chairs are a great addition to the van.The living area bit looks like it got good potential.Slick look so far 😀 I can't wait to see what you have in store for the next installment :) well done great job.

Really nice the leather seats look so comfy and with the swivel passenger seat it makes the living area so much bigger . I like what I see with the Bed and kitchen .can't wait to see the next instalment . Well done

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Those seats look comfy. The swivel seat is a nice extra too 👍

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

Thanks and yes they are very comfy

Hi, just a query, I'm currently changing my seats in my Primastar and i am thinking of put in a swivel base. I had a look at the ones you used but they have no dimensions. My seat base/rails are 45cm wide, will the swivel base fit? Loving the videos! Jo

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

I don't have dimensions to hand but get a swivel made for the base and adapt the seat rails to fit is the best way to do it

[@keepitwheelz1983]

Nicely done!! Are the Rx8 seats lower?

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

Yes

[@PlotamusAllotamus]

Can it still raise up and down in height with front handle?

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

Yes the electrics still work including height adjustment

[@fishingnorthwales976]

After installing the passenger seat got seat belt warning light any idea what's up with it

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

You need to swap the belt pre-tensioners over or you get that light

[@fishingnorthwales976]

@@TheCampervanBuilder sorted thanks used my old ones as the vivaro ones I got woth the seat have been cut for some reason. Also the blue wire should I connect a switch going from that to the positive under the seat

Be careful when you put car seats in a van, it doesn't quite work. The angle of the steering in a van is different than a car, so the driving position becomes awkward. A Talbot Express van I bought and put car seats in used to really bugga my back, after an hour behind the wheel I was in a lot of pain. I foolishly threw the original seats out as they were rough.

[@mobileupload4374]

What about seat belt fitment and pretensioner wiring???

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

I swapped those over from the original seats, just didn't cover that part much in the video. They had to be swapped as the belt clips wouldn't work in the new seats and it gave an airbag light until the old ones were swapped in and plugged back in. Now no airbag srs light and the seatbelts secure as securely as the original seats

[@TheCampervanBuilder]
