I am 6' 3", my wife is 5' 4" and we have a 179. I ended up doing a minor mod that allows us to sleep with our heads to the front end of the trailer. The first thing we did was replace the ridiculous FR supplied mattress with a 9" DreamFoam Eurotop mattress from Amazon which has been amazing. I then mad a plywood extension with a 1x4 spacer board on the end with the board cut such the the plywood is level when it is stuck under the bed mattress while resting on top of the island base. The 8" seat cushion is then roughly level with the top of the mattress. I used some velcro strips to keep the plywood in place under the mattress and on the plywood with the existing seat cushion velcro to keep it from sliding. When not in use the plywood slides out of the way under the mattress and the seat gets put back to it's normal configuration. This has worked great and provides me with plenty of leg room.
