Re: Motorhome selection.
 
Don't know much about trailer toads. Class A, is fine but I'd like to stay 28' or under. The old Imperial Palace, '79 Holiday Imperial Rambler was just about 30' and was braced underneath, and that was big enough. Oh, the memories. What happened in the Imperial Palace, happened.
So, if I can get say, 25'-28' that can haul my setup, that would be fine.

Get the longest wheelbase you can if possible. You won't regret it. I know a few that have bought 25ft MH and with a 20ft trailer couldn't hold it on the road.
Weight distribution hitch goes along way on one of these.

The wheelbase on my Thor axis 25.2 is 194". Mh is 26.5' oal

Glenn, the 25.2 has 194" wheelbase as you stated, all the other 25's the 24's and the 26's have a 188" wheelbase. 27's go down to 178"

I have a 27' E450 class C. The new 7.3 V8. Handles great and pulls the Fat Girl very well. 9+ miles to the gallon. Thor FE 27.

I have a 2012 E350 with a V10 in it. It is a 25.5 (26 Foot). I tows our approximate 8000 pounds of car and equipment down the road just fine. All motorhome have a sweet spot and this one's at 2500 rpm. I can set the cruise at 2500 and it just hums along. I get about 9 to 10 miles to the gallon and the speed is about 62 to 68 depending on the head wind.
What I think is important is the length of (Natural or original) frame to where it hitch is bolted to. Some manufactures add piece on to the back and change it to 4X6 or smaller tubing. Just be aware of the change of frame work.

I really recommend a toad!!
We towed our 2 car 25' stacker loaded to the hilt
with a Gulfstream 38' 330 Cat for years with a toad!

A Toad is a excellent option!

Thank you all. I purchased a Thor Vegas 25.2 with a 194" wheelbase. V-10 on a 450 chassis. Looking forward to seeing you all again.
