Scopema RIB T5 / T6 Driver Swivel Base with Riser – Campervan Swivel Plate

Scopema RIB T5 / T6 Driver Swivel Base with Riser – Campervan Swivel Plate

The Scopema RIB T5 Driver Swivel Base with Riser is a high-quality swivel mounting plate manufactured by Scopema (RIB) that enables the driver’s cab seat of a VW Transporter T5 or T6 to rotate into your campervan’s living space when parked. This accessory is widely used in campervan conversions and recommended by converters due to its smooth rotation, robust build and dependable mechanism — making your cab seat far more useful in the living area.

The integrated riser gives a slight height increase to the seat, improving comfort and visibility when seated facing the rear or side of the van. The swivel is engineered to fit between the original seat rails and seat base, making installation straightforward on compatible Transporter models.
