Hi to you all,

This is my 1st posting on this forum, so here goes;

We are the proud owners of an Adria Twin since last year and are extremely pleased with her. However there is one thing particularly niggling or should I say 'cutting'. When the front seats are swivelled round in the on site position we keep scraping our legs on the exposed seat runners. I've tried covering the ends with some pipe lagging, however this gets fouled by the sliding seat when back in it's driving position.

I'm sure someone else must have encountered the same problem and solved it Idea

Thank you in advance and happy motorhoming,

Ed and Margaret

I have the same problem on our Hymer Ford Transit seat bases - many an oath has been uttered!

I cannot see a solution to the problem.

Hi Ed and Margaret and welcome Smile

We don't seem to have the same problem on our Adria, but we certainly had it on a previous MH. We used blutack (?spelling). It didn't round off the edges quite as well as pipe lagging, but it did the job effectively. Could be worth a try on your twin.

Happy traveling,

Sue

I may be barking up the wrong tree here as I have no idea what the offending structure looks like but are any of these products any good?
Edge protectors
Lidl also have clear plastic stick-on corner protectors that may give more protection from sharp corners.

Welcome to the forum.

We don't have that problem, but could you dangle a thick bath towel (or similar) over the front edge of the seats?

Without seeing them it's difficult to make suggestions, but something along these lines should be possible??

Enjoy the forum.

have anoher look at your seats, I think you will find that you can move the runners further back on the swivel plate,unbolting them that is Wink or dont push the seat that far back. Laughing

hi cabby you must have a different fiat x250 than people i have spoken to on our last trip alone . 6 weeks in France i was asking people about my problem regarding the seats and they said the same thing when the seats are turned around when park up on site especially facing one another you HAVE to push the seats back all the way hence the sharp edges appear at the front of the seats .jud
