Plus of course the seat belts and pretensioners and associated wiring
Fitting the seat should be simple enough. Just 2 bolts at the front and the rear slides into place.
The pretensioner from your single seat should plug into one of the pretensioners on the twin seat.
If it has no pretensioner to connect to,
and so you have nothing plugged into the connector you took off the pretensioner on the single seat,
the airbag light will probably come on (MOT fail)
But you can fool the body computer into thinking a pretensioner is connected by fidtting a 2.2 ohm (approx) resistor, or sidelamp bulb in its place.

It's possible there will be minor issues with the seat belt pretensions connections as the double seat is not directly compatable.
The workaround is fitting emulator resistors ( available on ebay) or removing the pretensioner from the single seat, connecting, and storing out of the way under the seat.
Your single seat has a high value as they are in big demand for diy van conversions, expect around £500 on ebay. Since so many Van conversions need to dispose of the double they are available at low cost or for free.
Be aware the double seat is very uncomfortable for passengers and you will lose the ability to move to the rear from the cab.
If either of the front existing seats have swivels then you loose this facility. It wont fit the double and there is no room for the drivers to rotate. However selling on with the single seat will increase the value, perhaps to £600.
My advice is to consider alternatives before changing to the double. If you do change and have room, store the existing seat rather than selling, it will help in the future when you sell/ exchange the motorhome.
