We installed New seats in one of my coach's this weekend, What a difference when folded over it makes the coach look twice the size in side and opens it up great update, Used Ford Winstar middle seats 40 bucks for the pair!

Looks great, Jay. What year Windstar are the seats from? What are the
electronics you have mounted on the back of the dinette seat? Did you use
original bases to mount the seats? Did you find the seats at a mens' mall?
We're in the market for new seats.

Is that a big-ass thermometer for your engine bay?

I'm not sure of the year we just came across them at the mens mall, The electronics is part on my 2200 watt 15 speaker sound/surround system and the gauge is a novelty Auto meter gauge clock Ive had for years. I will try to come up with the Winstar year, Look carefully at the seats they also have a built in fold down cup holder on the inside bottom side.

Thanks, Jay. We like the built-in drink holders and how it opens up the
coach.

I google searched a 2003 Ford Winstar and found the seats, Now you can see the cup holder set up.

Jay,
Your seat installation came out very well, might be an alternative to
the Honda seats.

I used the centre seats from a Pontiac Montana van.
Good price also.
