The passenger bench seat of the Cosmo is a two-person swivel seat. It can swivel around to form part of the dining area.

How to swivel the seat

  1. Step 1: release the four bolts (two on the front, two on the rear). Once released, lift and turn them 90 degrees until they locate and are held up - this stops them dropping into other holes in the swivel seat base as you turn the seat.

  2. Step 2: push the seat forward and toward the driver's seat slightly.

  3. Step 3: start to spin the seat around anti-clockwise (towards the driver's seat). It should move freely - you might need to adjust the arm rest of the driver's seat and the head rests of the swivel seat if they get caught.

  4. Step 4: once spun around, move the seat forward and secure one of the bolts to stop the seat moving on its swivel plate.

Important - before driving

You must spin the swivel seat back around and secure all 4 bolts properly before you drive.

Items stored under the squab of the swivel bench seat

  • Two backup portable cookers and 2 gas cans (in case the vehicle runs below 25% of its fuel level and the diesel cooker stops working)

  • The grey water waste hose in a green bag (for emptying the grey water at a dump station)

  • The freshwater hose to refill the external water tank

  • The jack and tools
