Do the bases of the Driver & Passenger Seats fit the swivel chairs often found in the coach?

I've never seen anyone use the OEM cockpit pedestals in the living area. No
reason one couldn't, but they're not that great a design and are somewhat
overkill, due to the sliding tracks. Much nicer, simpler custom designs are
usually used. RV and Truck supply houses have simple round pedestals with
and without swivel tops that can be used. Many just use household barrel
chairs bolted to the floor -- NOT recommended for use in-transit.

G'day,

If you have a pair of swivel bases that you don't want you could probably sell them for more than what a pair of plain aftermarket
seat bases.

People want them to install Honda Odyssey seats.

Those OEM seat bases could anchor a battleship! I bet you could get 1-2 MPG by jettisoning those things!
