So...just turned up at campsite and tried to unlock the Kiravans double swivel seat bolts to enable 180 degree swivel. The two bolts at the rear undid fine, but the two front ones were very difficult as it appears moisture has run down the bolt holes and rusted. Now to be fair, I am a newbie to all this campervan stuff and have not tried to use this swivel seat since the end of last summer, and wet foot traffic from the winter has probably built up the moisture and settled in the bolt holes. Luckily I had some GT85 light oil in the van for the push bikes, so gave it a squirt, had a beer, and tried again wrapping a towel around the knobs to get a better purchase on them. They did loosen in the end but not easily, so just thought I would put it out there in case anyone is in the same boat and has not used their seats since last year. When I get home probably I will probably coat the bolts in grease to prevent happening in future.
