I put the seat back all the way and still my knees were hitting the steering column. All the trucks I have driven over the years allow the seats to go back so far that I have to stretch to reach the pedals. Plenty of leg room. I contacted Thor customer service and they told me that the seats are standard Ford/Chevy seats, and no modification would be made. There is no way I could drive up north with my legs scrunched up like that. Is this normal for motorhomes? This is to be our first motorhome after years of camping with a pop up. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks.

Class C's are usually on a cutaway van body and as typical of van floor layouts, knee room is at a minimum. There is an article in the latest edition of Motorhome magazine explaining this in the cover article about the new Dynamax Isata 5 30F that is actually on a Dodge truck frame instead of a van. It also has a real drawback in that you really cannot access the driver's cockpit from the coach because the chassis area is even with coach floor. I tried to do it at one of the last RV shows I attended and it was way too difficult. I am sure this is part of the reason that we ended up purchasing a Class A over two years ago.
