The attached file was sent to me by Thor. They referred me to another manufacturer who actually provided the seats. That has not been productive so far.

This file contains two drawings that show the basic seat mount to the chassis and the seat pedestal itself. Neither drawing provides a lot of detail (my seat is electrically adjustable and there is no indication of that type of mechanism in these drawings).

The seat pedestal appears to have a large nut on top of the seat post. This would be the part that I suspect has loosened up again, allowing the seat to rock back and forth (there is only a small amount of movement, so don't misunderstand my terms "rock back and forth"). The movement is just enough to annoy the driver and create some concern about the integrity of the seat mount.

Anyway, what I am hoping to obtain is more detail about the fastener on top of the seat post, what it is, what size it is, and whether or not there is supposed to be a snap ring or clevis pin or something that is supposed to prevent the nut from loosening up.

I don't have easy access to the motorhome (because it is stored 100 miles away, in Elkhart Indiana) so I cannot tinker with it to find out exactly what parts I might need.
