Ride comfort
Until my wife and I can retire, the long distance trips we want to take are going to have to involve alot of driving to get to our destinations. 8 hrs or more driving per day. What can we do to make...

Ron,
Is that chair from Paul's Seating a recliner? If so, is it a zero clearance recliner such that it moves forward as you recline so it's back doesn't have to move up against the wall behind it? Paul's Seating website doesn't seem to provide much info on their chairs.
I seem to recall a photo you posted once of your wife reclining in that chair.
Does the chair mount on the stock base that came in your PC? The base supporting our barrel chair swivels and slides for/aft for great flexibility and we'd like to keep that capability but a have a recliner instead of the barrel chair.
Yes it is a recliner but conventional, not zero clearance. The pedestal base swivels and slides so the seat can be adjusted away from the wall to recline. I reused the pedestal, off with the barrel, on with the recliner, taking all of about 20 minutes to swap seats. I like to slide the captain seat close to the dinette and recline & use the dinette bench as an ottoman. That also works good for TV watching, but here my wife demonstrates "The Ideal Position".
It sounds like you have the same barrel chair pedestal as us. Just be sure to supply the seat manufacture the distance between the 4 mounting studs. They are threaded rods that stick downward from the frame of the seat. They slip into holes in the pedestal and you reuse the 4 nuts to complete the mount. The seat belt is mounted to the pedestal, not the seat, so you do nothing at all with it.
