The item in my kit

I bought FTP004 Transit Passenger Seat Swivel as part of my camper van equipment.

The seat-swivel purchase belongs with the interior layout, where making use of the cab space sits alongside the larger build-out plan.

Where it fits my build

My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.

I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes

The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.

The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.

I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

KUAFU and HECASA offer passenger-side swivel assemblies listed for Transit and Transit Custom applications. The mounting plate shapes and release hardware distinguish these products from the FTP004.
