Wide Stance Axles Vs. Conventional
Jayco's larger Fiberglass exterior line has wide stance axles but all the other TT's, fivers and PU's seem to have the conventional axles. The wide stance axles are touted as being better when towing....

Why are Fords easier to roll over than GM's... Cause WIDE TRACK is a road in Pontiac of course (it really is)
GM (Specifically Pontiac division but since GM often makes the same car in several lines) is just an inch or two wider in the axle than Ford, gives a much more stable ride.
Now, that said, YOU can roll a GM product, sambe as a Ford, And that is not the only reason that the car I sometimes calla "Roll-o-matic" was made by Ford (There is more to it but that's part of it).

Take a common Styrofoam cup. Tapered so the top is larger than the bottom and try to push it over on it's side (NOTE: EMPTY cup please no need to make a mess.)
Now turn it over so it is top down and do it again, See how much more effort you needed.. That is what a wider wheelbase does for you too.
Whats being talked about is wide spread axles not wider axles, the axles are farther apart. Time will tell if it works out.
