Comfortable seats in habitation

[Trotter]

"but on those evenings when you just "cant get comfy" it is irritating !!"

From experience, those evenings are just that, can't get comfy. No matter where you are, what you do. I'd bet, if you were at home, you'd be just as badly off. Give

up, either go down the pub or go to bed. It'll be a better day tomorrow.......or another uncomfortable one. Let's be honest, sometimes, life's just a pain in the b...

It's staying cheerful that keeps me going.

Do you not get a bit of a squeeze getting a double bed in through the doors? I know the door is bigger but?????????

I had a rocking chair, I found I had to have different chairs to sit in.

Hi - my Delica has very "upright-vertical-horizontal" deep foam seating either side of my dining table/lounge (when table is removed). It is not fabulously comfortable for lounging in because of the upright back. ~i have a satisfactory method of putting my feet up, which helps for reading in the evening, but, the Vertical back...... mmm ... i have devised all sorts of angular supportive bits n bobs to try to "angleise" my back support.... a sausage type long cushion at bum level / a pilates blue rubber ball at mid back level / a variety of cushions at the back and at the side of my thighs for arm-supports... but i have not quite cracked the final design for real comfort.

Lockers are underneath all the seating and so there's a flat hard board under the foam to protect the batteries/water tank etc etc.

i have more space upwards from the seats if that helps those clever designers who hang round here to come up with a new angle on this...... (sorry re pun just could not resist!)

Has anyone else had a go at this type of internal chair re-design - or do i just need another £50k+ for a new van :lol-053::lol-053::lol-053:?

Hi
I seem to remember Mr Mainbrace (maingate) on this forum some time ago made a modification to his seating arrangement it may be an idea to send him a private message to see if he can remember what he did...I am sure he will not mind. If I can recall he had the same sort of problem albeit he did not have the same motor home as your's.

Bye for now
Freddie

This has just reminded me, I have an electrically adjustable bed which we brought for my mother some years back, I have thought about modifying the slatted base in van to give two raising parts at top of beds, the only thing is IIRC the motor is 36v, so not sure if it would run off 12v very slowly, or need an inverter.

i have 2 different types of portable collapsible "outside chairs" - one is a 1930's wooden one with cane seating, and the other is a modern collapsible camping-canvas chair. both of them will open up inside my van, and i use them occasionally just for a change

As long as they give you different positions to sit in, I found watching tv, I just needed a change.

Probably using the inverter would be easiest as you have the AC-DC converter to get the 36V DC already I assume? May not be the most electrically efficient, but for around 30 seconds a day, who cares?
