Hi all - does anyone out there know the exact body width of a 1996 33' Southwind Class A, or where I can find this information?

Excluding mirrors, handles etc.

Need to know a.s.a.p

Many thanks

Probably 8'6" from the edge of bumper to the other edge of bumper. If you count the mirrors it may be 10'4". Your best bet may be just get a tape measure and measure it for yourself and then you'll have the correct answer.

To the best I can remember, in my 97 Southwind F53 catalogs, it was mentioned as 102" or as OP mentioned 8' 6" which is the same.

Thanks to you both - 98FPA, obviously, if I was in a position to do that, I would. We're in NZ! But it has answered my question - thank you.

I know that the lesser Bounder went to wide body in 1996. I would expect the Southwind & Pace Arrow did the same.

I think you are probably correct Richard.

I have found 1994/5 Southwinds that are definitely 8' wide, so will have to look for those years.

Still quite a few around, unlike the Airstream Land Yachts, which are like hen's teeth!
