I remember one long thread where handling was bad an alignment, pressures, add-ons just didn't get it. They finally traded it in. Name brand, too. I truly believe Floor Plan dictates Wheel Base, even in brands that should Know Better. Back on that thread, I posted pix of two RV's. If you disregard the cab-over, the ones that look like the rest of the "house" is balanced on the Rear Axle are the problem ones. Since the weight of the house is borne almost entirely be the rear axle, rear has too much load and front doesn't have enough. Then there are those where there's clearly more house (not counting cab-over) in front of the rear axle than behind. The one in GotSmart's signature is like that. By the time you get to the 31-ft C's nearly all are like that. The axle position does two things: First, unloads part of the weight from the rear axle. Second, that unloading goes to the front axle where it's needed for handling/tracking.
