Pedistal mounting 1978 Wanderlodge - Jon - 09-17-2007 13:09 Befor I go and rip up my carpet to move my Seat Pedestal could someone tell how difficult it is to remove the bolts that secure it to the floor? That's the drivers side foundation bolt. Thanks Jon 1978 Wanderlodge (Rear Door Model) Pedistal mounting 1978 Wanderlodge - keyriffic - 09-17-2007 13:57 Jon On my 79 the seat was mounted with lag bolts into the plywood. When I replaced it I used grade 5 bolts thru the floor. The floor is 3/4 plywood over sheet metal and then the foam.

It took someone under the coach to hold the nuts while I unscrewed the bolts from above. This was "after" I removed the seat from the pedestal. With the seat out of the way, you can slit the carpet as needed to move or replace the pedestal. I put 06 BB seats in. They were the same size as the originals but with a different pedestal because they have lap belts built into the seats themselves. ( Not seperate like the older coaches) If you are doing something similar, make sure you know exactly where the bolt holding the seat to the pedestal was centered. You will need that bolt in the same place as the old one.The new pedestals were bigger to allow for the new belts being anchored thru the pedestal only. Now I have both heat and massage while toolin' down the road. It was mostly just grunt work to switch the seats.
