New seat install
I finally received my new captains chairs from shop4seats.com. I ordered them July 16th and they arrived this morning. Removal and installation was easy, just four bolts on each seat. I also removed the power adjustment mechanism that was installed by Thor. It was always a bit wonky and so tall that I barely reached the pedals. The seats are a big improvement in comfort and I no longer have to deal with the crumbling faux leather.

Embarrassed to say that with shipping they were over $1800. The driver's side was 550, the drinker's side was 875 because it has an electric footrest. The rest was tax and shipping.

Please do report back in a couple of months on how you like them after some butt time in them. I am not thrilled with my Tellaro captain seats, and have been thinking about a replacement.

2015 Thor 35F Hurrican New Captains Chairs both
I purchased from same website. $1900 for two chairs but got the upgraded foam seat and lumbar manual support, no electric. Poking the holes in the leather and installing the second arms a bit tricky but just take your time. I have put over 3k miles since install, way better and no issues.
De Leon II Captian's Chair
Material: Ultimate Leather II - Fawn IL221
Insert Materials: Ultimate Leather II - Midnight IL211
Piping: Ultimate Leather II - Midnight IL211
High Resilience Foam Up Grade On both
Manual Pneumatic Lumbar Support

Tx for the info Lt! Quality isn't cheap. There's a reason for the old adage you get what you pay for! Our seats will be on the chopping block soon. Keep us informed of how well you like them

Did the original seats swivel, or did you have to add that as well?

Swivel is built into the base.

Mine were fully assembles. I was not about to buy another laminated faux leather so I went with traditional upholstery.

Installed mine a couple of weeks ago. Passenger seat a perfect fit, but the drivers seat did not fit the electric base. I used 3 inch rolled steal, cut it to size, and drilled. Seats are higher than the OEM do to thick firm foam. This last trip was about an hour. Really comfortable. We also replaced our dinette seats and the crappy euro chair. Next will be a butcher block table top. We settled for the leather.

My experience was similar. The drinker seat bolted right in. The driver seat bolt pattern was different from the electric seat base. I used the steel straps from the old seat and re-drilled to install. My seat was too tall and it felt 'janky'. I removed the electric seat frame and the new seat bolted right up. It is very stable, comfortable and I haven't missed the elect feature.

They must have screwed up when the built mine...They put the drinker seat on the left. I always wondered why there are 8 cup holders in the cab of the Sprinter.

That's why I went with replacements. There is an economy to scale for the seat manufacturers that mom and pop upholstery shops can't obtain.
