Probably, but it looks like only one...
FWIW, the 2008 ones (which I have) have a cup holder in the seat base on one side.(different side between the 2 seats). Puts the drivers on the right side and the passengers on the left side or vice-versa if you want.

Bill,
Actually the seats from the 07 thru 10 seats are the ones that everyone has been buying. Not to say that these will not work, but the ones that I bought were brand new right out of a 2010.

I had a pair that I ended up selling because they were the wrong color and because I found a pair of Flexsteels that were perfect.

One thing I noticed about them is that they are designed to fold forward flat(I have an Odyssey with the same type of seat) to make them easier to get in and out of the vehicle. One unintended consequence of this is that the hinge point is a little high for the seat back. Most car seats have the pivot point for the seat back lower than the bottom cushion so that when you recline the back goes down and slightly away. This one the bottom of the seat back moves slightly forward above the bottom cushion when you recline it and some might find it a little uncomfortable. I would recommend finding an Odyssey (any soccer field on Saturday morning should do)and sit in the middle seats to make sure they will feel as good as they look.

Hi All

I have been looking at replacing the front seats in mine. Why is it that the Honda Odyssey seats are preferred? are there any others that work also?

Cheers and Thanks!

The seats in Dodge Caravans are probably equally suitable. They come from handicap conversion vans which are modified before initial delivery. Evidently the seats are tossed and re-claimed by folks like this guy in Phoenix.

I wonder if the implementation of ObamaCare will result in more seats or less seats being available this way.

Wayne,

They are CHEAP compared to "real" Motorhome seats! I got a pair delivered to
Houston for $350.00.

I am 6' 1" tall and have rather long arms (36" sleeve length). I have
noticed for me the arm rests are too short.

We have the Honda seats in our coach. One of the better moves we made.
