Donna -
Remembering back to my test drive in FL112 (Renegade Garage Coach) I do recall that I also thought the leg room was at a premium. The seats in this where cloth and seemed quite a bit bigger that the Bostrom Talladaga's I have in my Show Hauler. You may gain some space going to a more compact seat. (Just a side note: I do have 2 brand new air ride Bostrom Talladaga seats forsale. If you where to find that is a option that would work for you)
As for the ride, I put Brock's ad-a-ride air ride system to my front axle and it really has smoothed out the ride -->
