I just posted a reply to the "about thor" discussion, but thought this issue should be bantered about a bit... I am wondering how many of the owners of all RV products know what their wheelbase is, and how it affects the safe handling of their rig... I am focused on Four Winds because I own a Dutchmen Super C with a short wheelbase, but I have a feeling the problem is more widespread than we realize. With full freah water, if I add even 100 lbs of cargo on that side, my driver's side rear axle is overloaded.
I cannot load the front axle, even though I do have extra CCC on the front axle, because my front axle loading ability is zero unless I store stuff in the area over the cab, in which case I severely impact the center of gravity, which is already too high.
This means I have to find a way to load the passenger side rear axle only, which is impossible unless I place everything we take in the closet and bedroom drawers.
RVSEF recently weighed my coach which has confirmed what I stated above, but I wonder if anyone else is aware of this problem in their coach.
