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?

I guess I still don't understand it. A 24 ft sprinter chassis has the same layout as a 24 ft 350/450 chassis and a longer WB. What am I not seeing?
Gary ... it may have something to do with whether or not any given 24ft. Class C coach is, or isn't, built as a "basement" type.
For instance our 24 footer is of a basement type design ... and hence has a step up of 4-5 inches into the coach from the cab. This means that our coach floor does not rest directly down on the top of the chassis frame rails, hence the rear dually wheel wells don't protrude as much up into the coach's interior.
FWIW, it also means that all of our exterior storage cabinets are taller inside so as to provide more storage volume and - two of our storage cabinets go laterally clear across the width of the coach tucked between the top of the frame rails and the underside of the coach floor. These two long storage boxes are excellent for fishing poles, shovels, beach umbrellas, etc..
