My only continued issue with my first drive was reaching the gas pedal. I had the same problem with the 28A Chateau. My left foot reaches the floor fine, my right foot (in order to be on the gas pedal) is suspended in the air

I tried holding it in the air on the pedal making the pedal more parallel to the floor- that seemed OK but not ideal.
The original seats are very deep and come to the back of my knee (like if my thighs were longer or I slouched I'd be OK). I brought along a lower back pillow but it was not comfortable it was too much.

What I eventually did in the Chateau was put a 3/4" of plywood down so my heel could rest on it and I could reach the pedal. I'd rather not do that...
Any suggestions? I can only move the seat forward and back, no other adjustments.

Pedal extension or adjustment?

Thanks

Just lay down and look at the way the seat is attached. You can use longer
bolts in the rear and a piece of wood or metal for a spacer to make it
higher. There are usually already spacers under there. Take the ones out
from under the front side. You'll see it if you look.

My wife uses one of those short swiveling footstools on the floor when she
drives (which is most of the time).
