and if you look the 158 is their shortest wb,... but their shortest rv is 24' ,... most all have put the 22'rs on transit chassis... they don't have the 18,500 lb chassis,.. and they don't have the hp and torque...I had heard that ford quit the 138 chassis... but I have one so guess not... anyway,... shes a rocket now..
Wheelbase is on the chart. Our 2019 is the 26B.
never mind,looks like you're not gonna get it...
Nope I am not going to change the wheelbase.
air bags blow....
coming back from beach rv, you could turn the wheel from 10- to 2 and it kept going straight...if you glacnced in the mirror you were off the road...trucks passing was another treat
I got this little coach doing real well so far...80 mph...straight as an arrow...of coarse, I don't drive that fast, but did on the test..lots of parts ordered, bigger sway bars, new tires and wheels, sumo springs,I'll re-address the front springs after all is done..these little coaches will go down the road over 20k lbs with ease...so pulling a pontoon will not work it hard at all...as far as power,.. the new gas V8 make it even better,... they should start hitting the street in a few months...So I might have pulled the trigger alittle early....there not putting the new 10 speed trans, so I don't really think it will be a big game changer, that and it is de-tuned for the rvs...
We have had 5 RVs in the past 8 years and yes they all lack quality. The best part is the drive train.
If I won the lotto, wuldn't buy anything less than a Marathon or Newell coach myself.
Even those Newells and Prevost have problems and the problems they have are more technical and those buyers cry the same way a guy crys who bought a 10k trailer lol. It starts out like this. I spent a lot of money on this thing and it's not right that it has these issues. Something right along that line.Biggest problem with the RV industry is, dealers have to fight manufacturers to approve fixes, causing huge delays to frustrate customers in waiting weeks/months t get it done.
what RV did you first get laid in?
the one I have now is gulfstream.... but I think they are all about the same, and most likely the same workers go back and forth
.... next…. it squatted the hitch height 1"... but still left the RV down in the front by about 3/8''...and that's with nothing in the rv...the taller tires should make running up hills in 4th just about right....hoping it will pull hills at 3000 rpms...55-60 mph....we'll see...next,.. the stripes I left on the rv match the blue on the pontoon...doesn't get much better...on a budget...it will haul 10 to the water... sleep 2-4...
the shorter WB is what helps...
Yeah, that's the case with any tow vehicle when backing up. Have you noticed the overhang making a difference either way in your experience?
it effects tongue weight...trailer loaded wrong will be an ill effect...I pulled a 12k lb 24' box trailer over 100k miles with no problem...but it was set up to do so..same 22' r with 138 wb...it was great for getting around in the pits, and a nice cool spot between rounds to get out of the fire suit...
I always used to go to the 235-85-16's,... but now, I'm really liking the 215's,... the 225-75-16's are just too small...
everything included...so what do you think of the set up....I'm ready to hit the road..
I like tan lines.....
bout 2 grand I think... but that leaves me with 7 brand new tires,.. my other motor home,... the Lexington has new looking tires... but 2014 date code,... so gonna put them on that rv..
