Fold up seat/step in lowered position. Seat measures 21-1/4" by 13-3/4" and is held in place by two hinges each set in 1-1/2 inches from the outside edge. The 1 inch dia hole centered 2 inches from the bottom is used as a finger hold to lift the seat.

Dormobile seat/step in the upright position sits upon two 1/2" dia steel tube 'U' shaped legs. Each leg is 13-3/4" long and 10-1/2" wide at the base. The ends are flattened at the last 1-1/4" for attachment to the base frame. The seat takes up all the space between the wardrobe frame members.

With the seat lifted up, you can see the seat frame which is an 'L' channel 1" high and 1/2" across the base. The frame is 18-1/4" long, 11-1/4" wide and is spot welded centered side to side under the seat top. The frame edge sits 1-1/2" from the hinged side of the top.

A view of the seat/step underside with the legs extended. The top ends of the legs are rounded. The tops of the mounted legs are slightly wider than the bottom. The bottom edges of the seat top are also rounded

Here is a view of the foot seat rivets and one of the two nylon bottom latches. The nylon friction latch keeps the seat from swinging in the stowed position whilst off roading. The base of the catch is screwed to the floor.

This is a close up of a standard Dormobile hinge used to hold the door in position and throughout Dormobile furniture construction. It is chrome plated steel 1-1/2" wide at the hinge pin and 3/4" wide. It is help in place by pop rivets.
