Our Phoenix Cruiser is only 9'-10" to the top of the roof a/c unit. The center of gravity must be lower yet from having only a 1.5" step up from the cab floor to the house floor. For an E350 chassis, the center of gravity is about as low as you can get without it being a class "B".
BUT.......
I feel "weight distribution" along with the relationship between the wheel base and the over-all length.....that is where a lot of the "bad action" originates from.
Yes I think you are right. I think if each tire carries the same load you have good weight distribution. The problem is trying to get this info before your buy your MH. It seems like they put less info today on their web site than they did 10-15 years ago. For example if the unit has a GVWR of 12,500 lbs and the UVW is 9000lbs with actual weight of the front axle of 3000 lbs and rear of 6000 lbs that should be a good riding MH. I think it becomes more critical in these shorter MH's(24ft). Most seem to have a WB of 159 ins so the only other discriminator is the weight distribution. One would hate to add 500 lbs of depleted uranium to the front end to prevent the front from being too light.
