Even my old 2004 ClassC Winnebago E350 with a 132” wheel base turned much sharper. This 202” WB makes driving much different. I have to turn the wheel much more and corrections that longer to have an effect. I don’t suppose there is anything that can be done to correct this.
Of course the main cause of your too-large turning radius is that 202" WB.
That's one of the many reasons that we bought a small Class C - it's E450 158" WB makes for a turning radius that's quite usable. We can almost make a U-turn with our 24 footer on a residential street.
I really wonder how a 202' WB Sprinter chassis would do with respect to turning radius as compared to the Ford E450 chassis?
