After years of building campervans with luxurious amenities such as heated floors, air-conditioning, and race-worthy performance suspension, we believe the product with the biggest bang for it's buck is a Scheel-Mann seat. It may sound outlandish at first, but bear with me - what other product in your camper do you use as frequently as your seats? Many folks in the car camping, overlanding, and vanlife spaces don't hesitate to spend thousands of dollars on things like lights, roof racks, or winches, when those products are rarely (if ever) used. I can promise you that every time you use your rig you will get into that driver seat!
I wasn't entirely sold on this upgrade until my first long-distance ride in them. But, when we arrived in Flagstaff, AZ from Southern California for Overland Expo West, I felt as good getting out of the van as I did getting into it, 7 hours earlier!
So what exactly makes Scheel-Mann's better than your factory seating?
Ergonomics: Scheel-Mann seats are known for their ergonomic design and 10-way adjustability. They are engineered to provide optimal support and comfort during long drives, helping to reduce fatigue and promote better posture. The seats feature adjustable lumbar support, side bolsters, and integrated headrests to enhance comfort and reduce strain on the body.
Quality Construction: Built with high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship, Scheel-Mann seats are known for their durability and long-lasting performance, making them suitable for demanding environments. The seats are made from premium upholstery materials, such as genuine leather or high-quality fabric, and the frames are typically constructed from robust materials to ensure stability and longevity.
Customizable Options: Scheel-Mann offers a range of customization options, allowing customers to tailor the seats to their specific preferences. These options may include various upholstery colors, stitching patterns, seat heating and cooling features, and even integrated seat ventilation.
