cab & cab seats leg room/back adjustment
Yahoo Message Number: 2980
We visited an RV show in our local area yesterday. While studying the Class C units built on the same Ford chassis LD uses, we noticed many of the cabs were really cramped. The seats were jammed forward and many wouldn't allow even minor adjustments, especially for the passenger seat.

We've not actually met a LD but are extremely interested in the 30ib model for our upcoming retirement travel. If anyone would care to comment on the amount of leg room and room for seat back adjustments in the 30ib model in the cab area. We just couldn't believe the way the seats were situated in the Class C models we saw. I can't imagine anyone being able to ride comfortably in those seats.
I'm counting on LD to be more aware and responsive to driver and passenger comfort and to have allowed for this in their design.

I have looked at the photo's and our brochure and the video from LD but views from the cab itself are difficult to locate.

Many thanks for all of the help here. This group has helped make another LD sale!

Hi Mel, Yes the leg room and seat adj are somewhat limited in some of the floor plans. The mid lounge are the only ones that are not. I am 5'10" and wish that it was a little bit longer. However I didnt get the LD to burn down the road, instead I want to drive a couple hundred miles and then kick back.

They moved the driver's side back 6 " on the 2000 and later. You have to give up a big storage compartment because they shifted the tire there.

There are a whole bunch of prior posts about the leg room. Dont feel bad that you havent read them all. I was out of town for a month this winter and it took me almost three weeks to catch up on the posts that came in while we were gone.

A lot of us look at it like the livilibility in side the coach when camping is more important than perfect driving position. You find that you drive a little bit more upright and hold the wheel at the bottem instead of in the 2 OC- 4 OC position. Which you should do because of the airbags anyway. It keeps your hands from being blown into you face if the bag goes off.

We have a 26.5 MB and have found it adequate for 350 mile days with you problem.

Hope that answers your concerns.
