Later Damon Challengers, from 2001 through 2012, kept the model's reputation as an approachable, family-friendly Class A. Many have changed hands several times, and new owners often discover the cockpit lap belts are worn or not retracting the way they should. The Seatbelt Planet 2001-2012 Damon Challenger Retractable Lap Belt is a direct replacement for one bucket seat.
A quick note on naming: Damon is the coach builder. The belt is made by Seatbelt Planet and sold by Vintage Car Radio.

How It Differs From the Earlier Challenger Belt
Vintage Car Radio also carries a lap belt listed for 1992-2000 Challengers. That version uses a plastic side release buckle. This one, for the 2001-2012 coaches, uses an end release buckle. Both are 2-point retractable lap belts for bucket seats. Make sure you choose the listing that matches your coach's year, and check your current buckle style if you are unsure.
Why a Retractable Lap Belt?
A retractable lap belt adjusts itself to the occupant and pulls slack back in when you unbuckle. In a coach cockpit, where seats swivel and recline, that keeps the belt from getting tangled or caught. It also helps keep the webbing off the floor, where it can get dirty or stepped on.
Recognizing a Worn Belt
On a Challenger that has seen years of travel, check for:
- A belt that has to be pushed back into the retractor by hand
- Frayed or fuzzy edges, especially near the buckle
- Faded webbing from sun through the windshield
- A buckle that is hard to latch or release
If you see any of these, it is time for a new one. Catching the problem early is far better than discovering it on travel day.
Color Choices
Webbing is offered in 52 colors, from black and the classic edge stripes to brights and earth tones, and specialty shades such as M-Stripe, the edge colors, Bone and White carry an upcharge shown in the color picker. Black matches most Challenger cockpits; edge colors are there if you want a touch of contrast.
Ordering for Both Seats
Each pack includes one belt. Order two to replace both cockpit seats at once and keep them matched.
Installation
Lock the seat facing forward and make sure the pedestal or swivel is secure. Observe how the original belt mounts, then remove it. Check the mounting points, install the new belt with the webbing flat, and tighten all hardware. Test the end release buckle and the retractor several times. An RV technician can do this for you if you prefer.
