On my 09 Magna I have a power tilt and telescopic steering wheel. I cannot swivel the drivers seat to face the rear , as it does not tilt forward enough to let the seat by. When you park the coach it goes forward automatically , to the most forward position. Does anyone know if this is adjustable ? I would think there are some field settings, but I have no info on who the manufacturer is . Maybe one of the tech guys has an idea. I can't imagine that they come preset.
Any ideas?

When you want to rotate the drivers seat, rotate to 90* move seat forward as far as you can, continue to rotate. You can also be sure seat back is net reclining at all.

Bob Wexler I have tried every possibility, and the only solution is to see if the steering wheel can be adjusted ahead. There is room for it to move , but the part I can control , it does not go far enough Thanks

Ron, just checked to see if the driver's seat on my 2010 Magna could be turned around and you are correct, there is not any way to reverse the seat. The mfg. of the steering column is Douglas Autotech Corp and they do have a web site. I would be interested if you get any more info.

I sent an email to Douglas Autotech Corp yesterday and have a response already. The limits are preset and CANNOT be changed, due to the knuckles , I suppose. It would appear , that the only choice, is to look at how the column is mounted to it's bracket. There is a plastic cover, which, i am sure can be easily removed, to check if that it can be moved forward slightly. I am not at the coach now and will , over the winter , see if it can be done easily , and report back.

Another approach might be a steering wheel quick release adapter, like NASCAR uses. MIght be more secure for driving then making changes in the steering column mounting. Would require a change in the steering wheel and an adapter, if they make them for that size. Something to think about an research.
Second approach might be looking at the seat mounting and see if it can be moved are a longer travel seat mount to allow for more seat travel. Last thing I would want to do is to change the steering column mounting and risk problem while driving.
Good luck.
