If you were buying a nice SUV {BMW, MB, Range Rover} spending well over $100,000 would you accept the salesman explanation that it would need a full alignment and several thousand dollars of additional after market add ons to make it ride and handle decently??? [emoticon]
I didn't think so, so why do buyers of a motorhomes do this all of the time? [emoticon]

So does my Ford E450 based Class C handle very well - and it did right from the dealer when brand new with no modifications.
However, our Class C is only a 24 footer. I'm thinking that it's the longer Class C motorhomes that may experience poor handling without modifications.
So if my caster theory holds water your 24 footer sitting on 4 wheels would be in the range of nose level to nose up?

Fact or opinion. I understand the leg room difference based on the engine placement and doghouse area but to say one handles better than the other one I need some stats. . What is your statement based on.
The only stats I can give you is this.
I test drove about a dozen or more of the same types,Tioga 26Q, all on Ford Chassis none handled very well,They wandered around and there had to be a lot of input to keep them in a lane,I thought that is just the nature of the beast so I went with it,I did see on the Forum the same complaints and the expensive fixes.
I then had a chance to test drive the same RV on a Chevy Chassis,it was a world of difference,I was sold on the comfort,the handling and over all feel of it.
I bought a 2006 Chevy based Tioga Class C 26Q,and I am very happy with it. There are quite a few other members here that like their Chevy based RV,may be ask some of them.
