Cool Captains chair replacements for Argosy Motorhome

Just bought a ‘74 Argosy Motorhome 24’ with terrible driver’s and passenger seats. I would love to find a passenger replacement like the one in the 20’ Argosy. It doubles as seating for the dining table and looks like a loveseat that swivels from the table to be seating for the passenger’s chair in the cockpit.

Does anyone know have an idea of where to find these?

I’m not sure how to determine whether new replacement chairs will fit onto the old bases. Thanks for any advice or help with this. I’ll probably spend more time in the driver’s seat than anywhere else in the camper, so it would be great if it was really comfortable!

You may want to move the post to the Argosy motorhome section to get more attention.

What you have is called a Roto-dinette and they are like 'hens teeth', very desirable and will have some resale value if you remove.

That said many people have removed them over the life time of their vehicles and a regular pedestal seat base can be installed, but even the highest fixed pedestal will require an additional adapter for many seats.

The biggest complication is the drivers also swivels and so, although there are many many replacement seats available most will not rotate past the steering wheel.

There are many examples of alternate seats in the Argosy motorhome section of the forum, but just an example....
