I need about 3 lanes to make a U turn with the 24'er, but don't remember what the 22'er needed, but pretty sure it was about the same.
That's an important point concerning turning radius. There's not much talk about that in these forums. A long wheelbase reduces tail drag and improves highway ride, but increases turning radius and increases the chance for high-centering off pavement.
A 24 foot or less Class C will often be on a 158 inch or less wheelbase. Ours is on the Ford 158 inch chassis, so we can make a U-turn on the average residential street with only two turn points. I believe some 22-23 foot Class C rigs even come on a 139 inch wheelbase -> those little guys should be real sweet for maneuvering!
