How much rear overhang is too much?
I have idly doodled over the last few years a plan to build a custom camper/truck. I would like to keep the wheelbase to the 60"CA of the standard chassis/cab, since it makes the rig without the camper shorter and the turning radius reasonable. On my drawings this results in a rear overhang of 7 1/2 feet, axle to end of camper. The breakover angle doesn't look too bad, but I am wondering how much is too much. CG would not be an issue. I had a class A with over 13' of rear overhang, and that was too much. What is the rear overhang on one of the big Host campers for example?
