Hey Desert Capt:
I am Curious, as I do not know the answer, you state your Nexus is 101 inches wide, is the OD, or ID wall to wall inside? Our is 101 od, 97 inside. Ours too has 7 feet of headroom.
People talk about the weight thing, I get that if you are at 30ft, with 4 kids, but at the very worse leaving on a long trip full of gas, water, propane and food, we are maybe 150 lbs. over. Which is a very small percent of the GVWR. Hard to believe that would be a world ender in my opinion. (24ft E350)
Your last paragraph, is spot on. However we solved that years ago with a sawsall. Cut a notch out of the slide "post" hurt nothing, allowed the seat to go back another two inches.
Lastly now that I understand the slide by helping my cousin, thing is not rocket science stuff. Pretty sure I can fix it on the road next time. (famous last words of course, nxt time it will probably fall on the ground And I will end up having it towed home)
And I also agree with just the two of you ( or just the two of us, no slide, would work. But with the dog, and a GD that like to sleep to 9 on the jackknife sofa full out it sure does to us
