Title: Driver seat clearance
Post by: Rocinante on April 26, 2026, 02:32:41 pm
Has anyone ever made driver seat alterations to gain more clearance between the engine cover and seat? I find it very difficult and tight to navigate into the coach  from  the seat. Any ideas or thoughts?

The only practical solution is to mount the seat farther back utilizing an adaptor plate, but just about every PC has a slide-out behind the driver that will limit the amount.  You might be able to gain some inches, but it might come at a sacrifice to reclining.

Everyone has the same complaint about the Ford E350/E450 chassis.  It is not exclusive to Phoenix Cruisers, but rather to every RV manufacturer utilizing the E-series chassis.

One thing that I always have to acclimate to, is the location of the pedals.  Compared to all my other vehicles, they are skewed to the left.  Because I don't drive the rig except on trips, it always takes two days to get used to it.  Then all is well.
