Terrible turning of Ford E450 202” WB
My 2016 ClassC on the Ford E450 chassis has a 202” wheelbase and the turning is terrible. The steering just doesn’t turn enough. I have seen ClassA MHs make turns much sharper than I can. Even my o...

I really wonder how a 202' WB Sprinter chassis would do with respect to turning radius as compared to the Ford E450 chassis?
The Sprinter 144 and E-series 138 wheelbases have the same 48' wall to wall turning circle. So the Sprinter has a slightly sharper wheel cut. Maybe. Being that close, it could also jsut be due to scrub radius of the tires since the E-series negative offset wheels, or the Ford steering being less-than-Ackerman at longer wheelbases. It's a moot point however, since the Sprinter max wheelbase is 170" and cannot be altered (which I'm sure you know, just pointing it out in case somebody else wasn't aware)
