My Wanderlodge has power seats that will rotate 180 degrees. They put a coil of wire (1-turn) under the seat loosely so when the seat swivels, the coil loosens. Not a big deal, probably every RV out there has a similar installation.
Good luck,

these is no way you can do this without having wires that are loose and will
eventually get twisted and break and short out on the seat frame from
swivaling the seat around and around.
thats why no full campers ever came from factory with heated seats. you can
add them, but you wont be able to swival them with the wires attached, you
will have to add a quick disconnect plug if you want to swival the seats. and i
pity the fool who doesnt disconnect the plug and shorts the wire out on the
seat frame. his ass will get hot from an electrical shock. :<)
