Class A Wind Handling
We just upgraded our 27' class C to a 2016 35' class A Winnebago Sunstar LX. My biggest trepidation in the upgrade is how it will handle in the wind. I have read several things about gas class A coach...

I have been very happy with the way my MH rides in the wind. I am wondering if a front engine vs a rear engine makes any difference.
The answer is that IT COULD.
Weight distribution is important in handling. In a DP, if heavy components are located too far back (have even seen generators put just in front of a rear bumper on a diesel pusher), the front axle is underloaded. This leads to poor handling and more susceptibility to blowing in cross winds.
Front engine vehicles should (yes, should, not DO) have better weight distribution. Much of this depends on the length of the rear overhand and weight of what is behind the rear axle.
