Mine is 36' on the 22,500GVW F53 chassis. As my first and only Class A, I have nothing to really compare it to. It drives fine to me, but it hits the bumps and potholes like there is no suspension. After much reading, I have come to understand that the F53 gas chassis is a rough riding setup compared to others....BUT it is a reliable chassis and the Triton V10 is a powerful and reliable engine. As others have pointed out, I would be leery of a longer coach on the F53 chassis. At 36', there is a lot of real estate hanging over and beyond the rear wheels. And if you're towing, there's that much more leverage on that hitch pulling down on the rear overhang. Check your hitch ratings closely.
