37'/228" Wheelbase too short?

[Pirate]

I'm looking at a Windsport, 06, 37', wheelbase of 228. Seems like a real long overhang. What do ya'll think? I will need to tow a 4,500lb mini-van behind this beast. Will it work? Thanks.

IMHO, 228" wheelbase is too short for a 37' motor home. Should be around 245" wheelbase.

It'll work but watch you're swing. My 34ft has the 228" wb and the overhang is quite OK. What is the axle weight?

For a coach that long, the 242 wheelbase chassis is MUCH better. Will handle and tow far better. I'd suggest keep looking if you want a coach that long on a gas chassis.
