WB longer than 159 ins in a 23-25 ft Class C
Seems like most 25ft or shorter gas Class C's have a WB of 159 ins. The only ones I have found with a longer WB is a Four Winds 24 and 24M at 169ins. Are there any others out there?

One more... Leisure Travel Wonder all is on the 178" wheelbase:

As I mentioned above, the 176" wheelbase is an option on the E-series. It's up to the RV makers to use it. I've long suspected they tend to avoid longer wheelbases in order to keep the step-up only at the back bedroom. The Transit has flat frame rails so it doesn't need a step up, only wheel-well boxes. The E-series frame kicks up over the rear axle. I think it's a combination of larger frame-rails, more travel, and a larger axle tube that requires that kick-up. Pickup-based chassis have the kick-up in the frame at the back of the cab, but that makes the whole coach floor higher, and make a poor transition into the cab.
