        Ummm...the seats may be the "same" to you but the front ones in the
        campers as well as the single optional center seat are smaller,
        ie shorter, in the fore-aft dimension.

        Similar, maybe, but NOT same size...since we've been blessed with
        a vanagon and a camper of the same model year ('85s and now 90/91s),
        I've always appropriated the passenger front seat from the van and
        exchanged it with my camper driver's seat. The small difference in
        size (1" in fore-aft length and width) makes a big difference in
        comfort for me...
