What is the Turning Angle on the Roadmaster M10S (Beaver)?
Does anyone know what the maximum front wheel turning angle is on the Roadmaster M10S chassis (i.e. 50, 55 degrees)?
I have a 2005 Beaver Patriot 42ft w/tag.
The manual doesn't say.

I would thing if you have a protractor and marked on the ground a straight line with tires straight and then turn the wheel right and draw another line you shod be able to come up with it. If you have an 8 foot level using that to mark the outside of the steer tire in each position using soapstone. I believe you can get close to the info your looking for

I don't have the coach yet - picking it up next week.
I've been doing some calculations to see if I can make the turn into my driveway (I have a thread on this). Based on a 287" WB and a 50 degree turn angle, I should be fine.
Now I'm just mostly curious.

The 2007 was 50 degree turning radius.

oh, that's you 
yeah, the consensus is you won't have an issue getting into your driveway with the wide apron you have !

Just to update my thread -- I could not make the turn into my driveway without backing up and driving somewhat over my lawn.
This beast is big!
I am now making some driveway modifications. I'm moving the mailbox (and accent plant behind it) about 10 feet north. I cut out the little concrete edging. I haven't finished yet, but hopefully I will be able to make the turn into my driveway in one move.

Make sure you can get a 45' coach in there. With a toad attached.......
It's easy now but a remodel later is a pain. Ya, I know; you don't plan to get a 45' coach. Ha, neither did I.

Without the gate, you may have made it.
Amazing how far you can hang the front end out over the curb, and still keep the front tire on the road.

Your right. But it's much easier to move the mailbox than the gate/fence.
I'm moving mailbox (and the "accent" bush behind it) this holiday weekend. That should do it.
