I finally ditched the uncomfortable 2003 stock seats in our Four Winds camper for a pair of brand-new 2025 seats! Watch the full process of this "impossible" seat swap, plus a 10-foot rule bumper restoration and a much-needed deep clean..
In this video, I’m showing you the honest reality of the struggle—the heavy lifting, the wiring nightmares, and the clever workarounds I had to invent to get the job done alone. Can you actually put 2025 technology into a 22-year-old rig? The result completely changed the way this camper feels, but the journey to get there was anything but easy.
