    Motor Home manufactures are where it's at. Truckers get charged way more than motor home people do.

    You think? Ever noticed the labor rates for coaches? It's quite a bit more than trucks.

    Just an update bought an Knodler Grand Chief and just hate it worst seat ever the bottom cushion is like sitting on a park bench and the back of the seat will not stay upright with each bump the back reclines a little more. Sorry to say this is the biggest waste of 1600 dollars what junk wish I had bought the national but the people at seat specialist talk me into this seat. The cheap OEM national seat that came with the truck puts this seat to shame. The Sear's Elite that went with the truck I sold was twice the seat of this Knodler junk!

    I bought a Bostrom wide ride 2 Serta last year, so far so good. Got it at Vander Haags in Sioux Falls for $850. If you're in the midwest all the Vander Haags stock them. I think the ##### with Bostrom is that in the mid-90's they were THE SEAT to have. Once they built the name they went to cheaper manufacturing processes to offer lower sticker price and sell seats on the name. IMO, its still a good seat for the money, I really like the massage feature and the wider seat. Some people also don't like the wider seat as they feel they are sliding around whereas a national seat you would be locked in between the side cushions on the seat and back like a race car driver.

    Well, all I can say is it was a big improvement for me and even if I have to replace the seat cushion every couple years I think I'd still be satisfied.
