Captains chairs with integrated shoulder belts

Yes you're right, you're unlikely to be get a van or motorhome seat from a European manufacturer that matches the 'big and comfy' style of an American product. Our vehicles tend to be much more compact in all respects unfortunately.

I've just had a look at the FASP range, especially the Series 600 model with the twin armrests and integrated belt, and to be honest you're not likely to find anything much more sumptuous than that.

I did look instead for coach seats, and while there are various manufacturers who apparently make seats that meet all sorts of testing standards, they are inevitably all either single driver's seats mounted on air-ride bases, or double or triple passenger seats - in other words, no single seats without the bases (although you'd have to assume they could make them to order).

As an example of a driver's seat on a base and with the integral belt is this one from a UK manufacturer (but again probably not nearly as luxurious as you would like:

     Yes, but since Euro manufacturers must meet "type approval" and publish the results and approval numbers, they're much more likely to have ADR approvals already or at least provide data that can be used for ADR submissions.  I think that ADR's are generally very much like EEC/ECE standards.
