They will not go over certain bridges and will not travel certain roads, because they just do not know how to drive a motor home, or any other large vehicle. They will be uncomfortable in any vehicle larger than a mini-van. It is not the chassis' fault.

I will say that my P=30 chassis with the narrow front tire spacing and the wheels a foot in from the side was a nightmare when I would get to a situation of a bridge where they had put down a triangle of blacktop to have the lane shift over to the side of the bridge during construction. the blacktop would usually get pushed down and when that wheel caught in that "rut" you had a white knuckle ride for a bit. now I will admit that I obviously don't know how to drive a motorhome and am not as good a driver as you.
