Drivability of a short (like 30 foot) DP

Good Evening Team,

My wife and I are attracted to very short DPs. Specifically the Tiffin Allegra Breeze 28BR.

I would really appreciate any info on how they drive?

Seems like, without lots of coach to balance that rear diesel, they might have handling problems.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and time.

Dan

P.S. I read Tiffin went to independent front suspension in 2013, I suspect improved the driveability.

    The longer the RV, the less pitching motion on no-so-perfect roads. This applies to gas and Diesel coaches.

    No guts but they handle ok. It doesn't climb hills well but is ok on the flats. I say that from one I took cross-country to another of our dealerships.

    I could see that. 240 HP minus 40/50 for the huge DP Fan does not yield much for the coach.
