Wheel base to length ratio

Drive it and find out for yourself.

A VERY tough assignment. As with no cross wind and/or 18 wheelers flying buy, you really can't check out the conditions under which handling "flaws" will reveal themselves.

Physics is physics. The longer the wheelbase for a given overall length of coach, the better the handling under adverse conditions. Absolutely something we considered in buying our coach. Coach length 38.5'. Wheelbase 260". WB/OL= 56.3

My current MH has a ratio of 52 and as I said it drives fine. But I have talked to a lot of owners with the same chassis and ratio and they said it was a white knuckle ride. I know I can't test it under real conditions so I was hoping someone would comment on the handling of this type of chassis with a short WB.
