Wheel base to length ratio

I am looking to buy a 33 ft Class A MH on a WH chassis, 20,000 lbs. The wheel base is 190 in. Can any one here comment on how the MH rides with this wheel base. I have a 208 in wheel base now on a 33 ft MH on a P-30 chassis and it drives fine. I drive it with one hand like a car. I know that how a MH rides is very subjective and there are a lot of other variables besides WB/lenght ratio so I will obviously test drive it before I buy it, just wondering if anyone here has had any handing issues with a short wheel base.

Can't say for certain, obviously, but you are also going from an independent front suspension to a straight axle and not so sure you have any sway bars front or rear on the WH. I think I'd be looking at the overhang behind the rear wheels, if anything and so as to keep the tail from wagging the dog so much. Test drive will tell you something as well, but you'll have to be at speed with trucks going by you, for telling the whole story.
My old gas coach, was a P32 and had a tax axle as well, so it did just as well in a side wind, as what we have now with other factors to consider.
