F550 based Super C - anyone but THOR.
I’m interested in F550 based Super C motorhomes, but based upon my current THOR class C and the few THOR Super Cs I’ve looked at, I’m really unimpressed and disappointed in the quality of their produc...

Wheel base to length is fairly critical for good driving characteristics. The ideal ratio is 55%. On a class C that is filled by the 176" wheel base on a 26 foot body. Mine felt as if I were driving a large car.
As the body gets longer the drive becomes worse and worse. Tail swing rises dramatically. When I moved to a 28'5" driving became worse, and I had 5 tail swing incidents. I had replaced the rear bumper so there was little damage to my unit.
The possibilities on the F 53 appear to be 138", 158", 168", 176", 178", 190", 208", 228", 242", 252"
What ever maker you go to make sure to be close to the 55%, as you said, this is your last kick at the can, and you have already had one unruly motorhome.
Good points. The OP is looking at Class C motorhomes built on the F550, not the F53 which is used for Class As. I looked at the Thor Cs (which I know the OP doesn't want) and they were all over 55% The largest one (actually built on the F600) has a 267" wheelbase! The heavy diesel engine up front helps too.
