Hugo,
I have a 1993 MV Weekender.
I am 6 foot tall and not as slender as in younger years, so I do most
of this from outside the van.
To get at the battery under the driver's seat here's what I do:
1 - slide driver's seat fully forward while lifting on the black lever
on the Left (door) side of the seat.
2- standing on the ground with the door open, lean over the seat and
find the grey metal level on the right side, between the seat and the
parking brake handle. It is cleverly disguised as part of the seat
tracks. Pull this out - this allows the seat to slide forward a bit more.
3 - still standing outside, lift up the black lever and slide the seat
further forward (usually pushing from behind, in the center so the
seat doesn't go sideways and jam).
If you have your owner's manual, it has pictures and instructions.

Hello,
I need to access/remove the 2nd battery under the driver's seat. The
one inside
was installed by the previous owner, and I need to remove it t.
Could anybody please
explain me how to access it for removal.?
I believe I need to slide the driver seat forward. There're 2
levers, one to the
left and one to the right, and if I seat on the seat, I can slide
the set forward by using the
left lever. My understanding is that the right lever/lock is the one
that permits the seat to
slide even further, but I haven't been able to make it slide even
further. Is there a
trick/special order on how to use it ?
I want to install a supporting bracket (battery is currently loose)
and check
some electrical connections. I'll also check how well it charges,
and may consider replacing it
if it doesn't hold good charge.
Thanks in advance,
Hugo
