How about a shorter diesel pusher?
Hey Good folks, How about a shorter diesel pusher? Say in the 34' to 38' range. Do they handle different? Do they ride different? ~Thanks, John

It depends on what you want/need. Do you want the ride of a Mercedes or the maneuverability of a Smart Car?
Our 32' DP has a fairly long overhang but the ride and handling is still much better than the 29'10" gasser we had previously. The short wheelbase makes it much more maneuverable. Of course short wheelbase usually means longer overhang. To us the maneuverability was much more important due to where we park at home and also for travel in Mexico. I can be facing a wall 10' in front of me, turn the wheel hard over and drive out.
