Welcome to the group! The air ride seats are generally good, but with a back you will need to look at all of the other adjustment features and how it fits into the FMC. Space is limited depending on the length of your legs! One owner has a Ricaro seat that is very good for long drives. The thing with seats is that each person is different and what works for one person, doesn't for the next one.

You do realize that there is a manual tilt adjustment under the stock FMC seat. I didn't realize it for a few years until one day I found it. You use a wrench to do the adjustment. I have long legs and fought it until I found the adjustment and tipped the seat back and now all is good.

For 24/7 internet, the most common means is via a dataplan through your cell phone provider that also works for the computer. If you are in areas that have no cell coverage then satelite service via Hughsnet is probably the only other option. That system requires a separate dish, receiver, etc. Those can be either manual or automatic depending on budget. If you go the Hughsnet route do not get the 9000 receivers as it can't be mobile (location to location). The 7000 ones are for mobile (while stopped) use.

Doug, I just looked at the picture of your coach. That is an interesting awning that you have. Do you have a brand name and model number for it?
