Ford Transit Minibus Seat Removal | Offgrid Camper Van Build | 002

In this episode, I remove the rear seats from my Transit Minibus. Luckily it only had 5 because it had originally had a wheelchair lift and was fitted to have wheelchairs strapped in.

Removing the seats out of the Transit minibus van was not easy. It was lucky that there were only 5 of them. 15 or 17 seats might have broken us before we’d even got started.

It should be easy to remove the seats, but the nuts and bolts are exposed underneath the van and are rusted solid. We needed our most powerful DeWalt impact driver with 1000nm of torque, but when the rusty nuts crumbled to being round, that didn’t really help.

Anyway with the use of heat, angle grinding, cold chisels and a lot of swearing they did come out.

There isn’t a second-hand market for minibus seats in our area. Within 10 miles of us, there are at least 4 people trying to sell them. Seems everybody is converting mini-buses into campers. With this in mind, we took ours to the local recycling centre.
