We had a 31' Class C with a 218" wheelbase and 45 degree wheel cut but was really 33.5' long. It was a handful to drive, took a very large space to turn around and was very loud and noisy inside due to the Triton V10 right next to our feet and a truck spring suspension. Now we have a 33.5' (actually 34.5' long) with a 55 degree wheel cut with a 208" wheelbase. It is a DP. Very nice to drive. The engine is in the back and air ride suspension make for a very quiet and comfortable ride. The Ford gas rigs have a long wheelbase, narrow wheel cut (typically 45 degrees), and long rear overhang (Can be 10' or more!). The long rear overhang can make fueling challenging. I had to stop 3-4' from the pumps in certain gas stations because of exiting clearance and tail swing. For every foot the front moves the back can swing an equal distance.
