Transform your cab into a living space with the off-centre swivel base for VW T5/T6

Once parked, swivelling the front seat inward changes everything: the cab becomes a true lounge area, without remaining turned towards the steering wheel or the door. The RIB off-centre swivel base fits directly onto the original fixing points of your Volkswagen T5 or T6, with no drilling or additional adaptation required.

Its construction is based on 5 mm steel plates and PTFE pad stabilisation, for a firm hold of the seat even after several years of use. The automatic lock secures the base in the road-facing position as soon as you take the wheel again; unlocking is done with a simple gesture to turn the seat towards the living area.

Available in driver (CBTO13RG2) and passenger (CBTO13RD2) versions, this swivel base uses a proven architecture, tested to the same European and American standards as the currently sold references. It is offered here as an end-of-line product, while stocks last.

• Robust construction: 5 mm steel plates
• Stabilisation via PTFE pads, no play over time
• Automatic locking in road-facing position
• Direct fixing on the vehicle's original points, no drilling required
• R14/R16/R17 approval (EU) and M1/N1 compliance

 This version compared to the current reference (V3)

This base corresponds to the previous generation of the range, before the arrival of the V3 version currently on sale on the site. Both versions share the same vehicle compatibility and the same off-centre mounting type; they differ mainly in their design and weight, as summarised in the table below.

How to install the off-centre swivel base for VW T5/T6?

Installation is done entirely on the vehicle's original fixing points, with no drilling or additional hardware: remove the seat, fix the base in its place, then refit the seat on top. Make sure to check the chosen variant before fitting: the driver version (CBTO13RG2) and the passenger version (CBTO13RD2) are not interchangeable.

If the space around the handbrake becomes tight once the seat is turned inward, the handbrake cover for VW Transporter T5/T6 protects the upholstery during repeated use.
