Just thought I would post this mod. The seat base on our 17ft van nearest the sink was always sliding out due to the little velcro spots not being strong enough and the backrest would drop down behind it so I glued down a large strip of velcro and it seems much stronger now.

I`m hearing ya!Ours does exactly the same thing. Thanks for the tip, will definitely look at doing the same thing @17triton. It's been one of those things that bugs me when we're using the van and then we get home and forget about it till next time when its annoying again.
thats been on my list of things to fix for a while now,will definately give that a go.
Hi 17triton thanks for the tip we have a new van and been away in it twice and both times this problem was driving me nuts so I went out yesterday to Spotlight and bought a 2 meter strip of the hard side of Velcro and plan to fix it today ,Jayco used two little dots and they couldn't even line them up with the strip that's sewed to the seat ,thanks again
Cheers

I'll be doing that also.....Jayco forgot our spots.....must of been a Friday arv!
Job done ,put 1 meter x 5cm strip on both seats works a treat
Cheers
Hey pace,
If Burnsy's van was a Friday arvo job I wonder if ours was the same, we never got any dots at all on the seats, I had to buy my own and fit them but it hasn't worked that well so I'm going to give the velcro strip a go now. Got the dots on the backs though.

Hi gwadir by any chance did they sew a long strip of the fuzzy side of the Velcro to the bottom of the seat cushion ?
