I am going to look at the coach I posted the picture of above this weekend but the picture makes it look like it has a very short wheelbase and after my previous issues it makes me worry about possible handling issues.
I'm with you. I've never driven a MH (we have a bumper pull), but that thing looks like someone took and F150 and placed a 35' motorhome on top of it.
Put a ruler on your flat screen and measure the wheelbase vs. the rear overhang. Then measure the height of the rear of the MH compared to the front. That's gotta be the camera lens playing tricks with you. Otherwise that would be the first DP that could do wheelies.
Nice garage though!

I am hoping it is a camera angle making it look that way I have seen a 2003 Monaco 32' in person and I don't remember thinking it looked like this. It is not far from the house so it is worth the drive to go see it I have an appointment at 9 on Sat. Hopefully it won't get sold again before I show up.
I am aware of the trailing arm issue so it will be something I look at. I also plan to have anything I decide to buy be inspected by a pro.
I took mama to see some coaches at a local used dealer they had a 38' discovery she really liked but it is a little above our budget. I am also not sure I want to tow my boat with it being 38' + the boat about 34' on the trailer.
