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?

They can't place a toilet above dual rear tires for obvious reasons, nor can they place a toilet on one side of the rear axle, and the black tank on the other side.
I’m sure this has been tackled by rv engineers over time. I was under the assumption that the coach was designed to fit around the wheel- wells.
Isn't that why so many 24/25 footers are of only a very few floor plan designs ?
In other words, if you made the WB longer on the 24/25’ , the interior wells would dictate where and how appliances and such will fit. The whole interior design would have to be reconfigured and everything the old had might not fit in the new. The weight distribution might not work too well either.
Building the whole new rv at 24/25’ on a basement would make the entire package too tall.
Just about everything else is much more forgiving.
