The wheel cut angle of Class C's is a challenge as it is designed for a basic van of 20 feet or so. Pretty nimble. That nimbleness gets progressively worse as the wheelbase and frame length are extended. There is no way to change the wheel cut angle. Because class A chassis are designed considering maneuverability of a 40 foot vehicle in mind, a 40 foot diesel pusher turns better than a 30 foot class C. In both as the length increases so does the need for the drivers butt to be further into the intersection before beginning the turn. A few years ago I saw the new owner of a 45 footer drop the right rear wheel into a 6' ditch by entering the turn as if he were in a car. Had enough money to buy the MH but not enough for driving lessons apparently.
As class C's have continued to grow in length you have to weigh the convenience of the class C house design with the compromises in maneuverability.
