Since that frame is being built from scratch it's no biggie to include a folding desk attachment so that one of us can sit in a very comfy chair while doing computer or other desk work...

We mounted a seat just aft of the entry-steps as you describe.

I fabricated a flip-up filler so the seat occupant has a level floor instead of a couple potential hazards a foot or two deep.
A 'plus!' the filler offers -- it supports the feet while seated, relieving weighted pressure on the bottom of the thighs.

Yep.
Our flip up floor will also incorporate a hand rail that is usable when locked in the up position and just sits under the floor in that big cavern when it's down. I'm thinking it may need to flip down and then have a side piece that folds out towards the driver in order to fill the entire gap and avoid any falls into the cavern.

Call AAA bus in Phoenix. He has a ton of seats and most are under $150.
