I was wondering if the seats can be removed for more varied cargo loads

Yes, you can remove the seats, although I usually use my belly pod to haul bicycles, skis, 2x4s, ladders, surf boards, windsurfers, model airplanes, camping gear, etc. It keeps my dirty gear out of the cabin and the weight near the center of gravity. The pod can be attached in about 30 seconds whenever I need more space and it comes right off when I'm not using it.


My usual luggage includes a 225cc motorcycle. After parking the airplane, I'm ready to hit the roads in about 90 seconds. It's really convenient and it provides more places to go and things to do with the airplane.



Go with the RV-10, you will love it.

I am used to the configuration of my Cherokee with the seats out. With them out, I have room to slide an ice chest, guns and bags almost up against the front seats. How does it work in the -10? Is there a ledge or hump between the baggage area and where the rear seats were?

Pictures would be great if anyone has some.

Here
is a link to Tim Oslon's build log that shows a lot of the interior. Its flat aside from the seat belt mounting points.

Here's a couple of pics with the seat's out from Tim Olson's site of Tim's interior. Note that the seat back brace in the first pic is riveted in-place and is not removeable.

Only thing to add is that the front seats recline and flip forward as well as slide on an adjustable track for fore/aft adjustment. If you move the seat all the way forward on the track and then flip it forward you can load large items pretty easily instead of wrestling through the baggage door.
