Newmar Canyon Star Front Wheel Drive
Thinking about a Canyon Star but would like to know if front wheel drive on a Class A has some shortcomings ie towing, uphill , maneuvering.

Front wheel cars are fine, just unsure about a 35 ft MH.

Any reviews or suggestions where to find information would be appreciated

thank you, Bob

It has a front engine, but it is rear wheel drive. Freightliner MC chassis.

Airstream MH's were front-wheel drive when they used the Oldsmobile Tornado drivetrain.
Revcon built a FWD MH, as did GMC. These were all built in the 1970's and 1980's.
