Product Description
1999-2008 National Surf Side Driver or Passenger
SeatbeltPlanet's 1999-2008 National Surf Side, Driver or Passenger Seat Belt. 3 Point Retractable Lap & Shoulder Seat Belt with End Release Buckle
National RV built coaches for decades, and although the company is no longer producing motorhomes, many of its coaches are still out on the road. The Surf Side, built from 1999 to 2008 according to this listing, is one of them. Owners of orphaned RV brands often have to work harder to find parts, so a direct replacement seat belt is a real convenience. The Seatbelt Planet 1999-2008 National Surf Side Driver or Passenger Seat Belt replaces one cockpit belt.

Owning a Coach From a Closed Manufacturer
When a manufacturer closes, owners lose dealer support for coach-specific parts. Chassis and engine parts are often still available, since they come from other suppliers, but interior items can become harder to source. Seat belts are a prime example, and generic belts rarely fit the way the original did. Finding a belt listed for your exact coach saves time and guesswork.
What to Look For
If your Surf Side's cockpit belts show any of the following, consider replacing them:
- The retractor does not lock when you pull the belt sharply.
- The belt does not rewind fully on its own.
- The webbing is frayed, stiff, discolored, or stained.
- The buckle sticks or feels loose.
- The belt was removed during a seat change and never reinstalled.
Choosing Colors
You can choose from 52 webbing colors on the product page, with specialty options like M-Stripe, Red-Edge, Laguna Blue and Porcelain priced slightly higher, as the picker shows. For most cockpits, black is the cleanest choice. If you have updated your seats with new fabric or leather, an edge color might tie things together.
Extending Your Coach's Life
Many Surf Side owners are committed to keeping their coaches going for years to come. They have learned the quirks, made the upgrades, and fixed the problems. Fresh seat belts fit right into that kind of ownership: a relatively inexpensive project that makes every trip safer and more comfortable. It is the kind of job you do once and then stop thinking about.
How Many to Order
Each order includes one belt. Order two if you want to replace both the driver and passenger seats at the same time.
Installation
Lock the seat in its forward driving position. Take a photo of how the old belt mounts, then remove it. Inspect the mounting locations for wear, rust, or loose fasteners. Install the new belt with the webbing flat and the hardware tight, and test it before your next trip. An RV technician can handle the job if you would rather not.
