wheel cut

I have been reading a bit about the front wheel cut (either 45 or 55 degrees?) and was wondering if there is a quick easy way for me to find out what mine is?

2004 Holiday Rambler Vacationer 37PCT with the F53 chassis.

Thoughts?
  • Measure it. Wheel cut on MH chassis is adjustable (most times) by setting the stop bolts on the front axle. Just so long as there is no tire contact with the frame or wheel wells, all is good.
  • mechanical protractor draw lines on the ground use the protractor to check degree
  • 50 degrees is correct for that era of chassis. F53 MHs with 208" WB, or shorter, will turn sharper than most big Ford and Chevy. pickups.
