I am considering the purchase of a 1976 21' AC, but I have two small children (8mos & 4yrs), and am concerned about their safety.

Has anyone faced this problem?  Is it a problem?  Has anyone ever installed extra seatbelts in the rear areas?

Thx!

I don't know what kind of floorplan you have, but I have a 821F.
(You can go to the home page of this web site and open the  floorplans link near the bottom of the page)

I mounted two seatbelts on my rollover couch. I removed the couch, and mounted them on the plywood (drilled through the plywood and inserted bolts) - gained access to the bolts from the outside storage bin, and reinforced everything. I was then able to strap easily strap in two child seats. Turned out good - got the seat belts at Kragen, the hardware from Orchard Supply, and the whole job took a couple hours.

The 821FC is now at our home.  One fellow suggested that the pivoting seats (right side) add to the safety of riding children if they are sitting back - he says in case of impact, the chair would likely swivel around with its back toward the impact, thus protecting the children to a degree.

We will look into installing seat belts in these seats.

Thanks for your help.  - Casey
