A mechanism that allows the seats in a Chevrolet Astro or GMC Safari van to rotate, commonly 180 degrees, to face the rear of the vehicle. This modification enhances the van’s versatility, transforming the interior into a more social or functional space. For example, a mid-row captain’s chair can be altered to pivot, creating a conversational arrangement with passengers in the back.
The incorporation of rotating seating significantly improves the utility of the van, particularly for travel, camping, or mobile office setups. It facilitates easier interaction between occupants, provides enhanced access for individuals with mobility limitations, and allows for the efficient utilization of interior space. The concept emerged from a desire to maximize interior flexibility, responding to the diverse needs of van owners seeking adaptable transportation solutions.
