This Swivel Seat is an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER for Van Life!

In episode 3 of Van Build Series 2.0, we install the Swivel Seats on both the driver and passenger seats of our van. These are from Alpine Mechanisms, and they are American Made, only 0.5" high (the lowest on the market), and super easy to spin!

After two years of living in the van and taking the van all over North America, we realized how important it is to reduce the seat height as much as possible for proper ergonomics (especially for those who aren't as tall). This is one of the main reasons we chose to go with Alpine Mechanisms.
