My coach is a Winnebago dp. The breaker panel has a spot for an electric chair but no breaker in the panel. I am assuming there are no wires run to the pedestal. I do have a chair to install. Guess I'll have to find what Winnebago uses for breakers so that I can put it into the panel.

Even though our MH did not have power seats, there was a fused and live wire next to the seat pedestal for power seats. So it was just a matter of connecting the wires. It was fused thru a fuse labeled "power seat"

this is where I purchase my replacement. Just remember you need to install them. They are just the manufacturer.

Bob,
It is really quite simple. All you need is a source for the 12 volt input. If the standard Captains Chair had electric, then you just connect in to that same wire. If it did not, you can pick up 12 volts at fuse panel and run it under the chassis to come up through a hole in the floor right next to the electrical input for your new chair. Just be sure that the hole in the floor has a grommet around it to prevent the wire from being cut on the metal and that it is fused.
The new seat will have a single wire input and the switch will distribute the 12 volts to the various electrical motors for the six way motion.
