I can't believe that manufacturers have been building the same 90 degree back seating in the dinettes with no upper back support. Granted there are a few, but very few that offer any form of seating with any recline angle at all (Alaskan is an exception). This is an industry wide trend not limited to truck campers and is half century old. Do these builders ever look around their house ? Do they see any 90 degree straight back chairs or couches ? My guess is no. We all like to spend the bulk of our time outside but there are times of inclement weather where we've been forced to stay inside for 24 hours straight. Now with our 8th camper we finally have comfortable seating but only because I built it myself. I keep seeing reviews in TCM of every new model on the market and they rave about the advances in design. The 90 degree seat backs are about 10 or 12 inches tall and this is just not a comfortable way to sit. I just can't understand why everyone is so willing to go along with this and not say anything. I used to have to bring my zero gravity recliner chair inside our travel trailer just to watch a movie :-) My idea of a perfect TC would be one that you could spend a day in and be comfortable.
