2+2 Seating
Is there a 2+2 seating mod for side-by-side RV's?

Hi Robin,
Other than building a -10 there are no mod's to my knowledge. All Van's models (beside the -3 and -10) are 2 passenger ships.

There has been at least one built with rear facing seats in the bag compartment along with some other mods. I am sure the pics are here in the archives somewhere.

Yes, but that was a modified -6. The guy streatched to make room for the extra seats. That is not easily done with a -7 or -9 pre-punched kit.

2+2 / 2+1
Robin, This has been done and both cases that I know of they were stretched and I.O. 540 powered. I looked into doing it myself and base on safety concerns would never do it or recommend it. The two main concerns are quick evacuation of the 2 rear seats in the event of an event. The other is the main reason and that is, the passenger/s would most likely have to be rear facing for CG reasons and that would put their body mass right at the back of the two front seats. In the case of a frontal impact their body mass would shove the front occupants into the instrument panel. It would be nearly impossible to build in safety features for rear occupants and still have an RV.

I ran across this thread a while back. Kindof a 2 plus a half.

If only I could built it as a tail dragger! Who knows, I might sell the -9 and buy something that starts with a "C" and has the little wheel in back.

Noooo! *Build* something that starts with "Bear-"; it will automatically have the little wheel in back, and the designer will be really close to you.
