In reply to: Matt 's message, "Wheelbase" on 10/ 28/ 03, 8:35pm

For starters, I suggest you go here:
http://www.motorhomereviewonline.com/wheelbase_length.htm
to read a more objective opinion about length-wheelbase.
I have had an FC31 which is both the shortest wheelbase and the smallest percentage wheelbase (52%). I currently have my 4th Wanderlodge, and have driven many others.
To say that the Wanderlodge is more stable than the "sticks-n-staples" motorhome crowd can even imagine sums up my feelings after selling my Holiday Rambler years ago. When I'm rolling past fiberglass motorhomes I try to give them plenty of room so that I don't blow them onto the shoulder as I know what it is like to drive those motorized trailers.

The mass of the Wanderlodge, the full heavy-duty suspension and tires that the wannabe pushers don't have, the radiused roof edges (a-la Airstream) all contribute to its outstanding cross-wind and truck-wake manners, it must be experienced.

If a Wanderlodge is anything but stable, its maintenance has been neglected

Thanks for the link - and the thoughts. O.K. I am convinced they are safe...at least safer than the stick and staple. Now...how many man hours tinkering can I anticipate? Probably a thought for another thread...

Thanks again,
Matt
