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
